Oxygen therapy in acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease


Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are important events in the history of this debilitating lung condition. Associated health care utilization and morbidity are high, and many patients require supplemental oxygen or ventilatory support.

This review article examines the evidence underlying supplemental oxygen therapy during exacerbations of COPD
