Refused and granted requests for euthanasia and assisted suicide in the Netherlands: interview study with structured questionnaire.

چکیده
oxygen concentration of 24% equates to 2 l/min; concentrations of 24%-35% with 2 l/min have been described. The prescription of oxygen is complex, and a drug Kardex does not accommodate the precise details required for the variety of delivery devices. This was clearly shown in the second audit, where the accuracy of the prescription was greater with the chart than with the drug Kardex. We have shown that a specific prescription chart for oxygen improved clinical practice in our specialist medical respiratory centre, and we recommend the use of such a chart.
