Position statement of the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand. | Austin Authors: | McDonald, Christine F ;Crockett, Alan J;Young, Iven H | Affiliation: | Department of Respiratory and Sleep Medicine, Austin Hospital, Burgundy Street, Heidelberg, VIC 3084, Australia | Issue Date: | 20-Jun-2005 | Publication information: | Medical Journal of Australia; 182(12): 621-6 | Abstract: | Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and a stable daytime PaO2 of < or = 55 mmHg (7.3 kPa) live longer and have a better quality of life if provided with long-term continuous oxygen therapy. It is reasonable to offer continuous oxygen therapy also to patients with other lung diseases that cause chronic hypoxaemia. Indications for supplemental oxygen therapy during exercise (ambulatory oxygen therapy) and sleep (nocturnal oxygen therapy) are less clear. | Gov't Doc #: | 15963018 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/9945 | Journal: | Medical Journal of Australia | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15963018 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Anoxia.etiology.therapy Australia Home Care Services.standards Humans Lung Diseases.complications.therapy New Zealand Oxygen.blood Oxygen Inhalation Therapy.contraindications.methods.standards Quality of Life Sleep Societies, Medical |
