BACKGROUND: Because standard home oxygen (O2) systems deliver O2 at fixed rates,
these systems are not designed to ensure optimal oxygen delivery based on physiologic …

BACKGROUND: Portable oxygen devices simplify and facilitate patient therapy. This study
was designed to compare SpO2 and patient satisfaction with a portable oxygen concentrator …

Background The benefits of long-term oxygen supplementation in COPD patients with
hypoxemia are well established. The standard approach to prescribing oxygen uses a static …

Purpose It is a challenge to control oxygen saturation (SpO2) in patients with exacerbations
of COPD during admission. We tested a newly developed closed-loop system, O2matic® …

BACKGROUND: The pulsed-dose oxygen-conserving device (PDOCD) has gained wide
acceptance as a tool to reduce the cost and inconvenience of portable oxygen delivery …

BACKGROUND: One century after the introduction of the oxygen flow meter into clinical
practice, we have developed a device, FreeO2, that automatically titrates the oxygen flow …

Background Supplemental oxygen is a recommended therapy option in stable hypoxemic
COPD patients. Often, supplemental oxygen is provided by continuous flow (CF). However …

BACKGROUND: Oxygen titration is recommended to avoid hyperoxemia and hypoxemia.
Automated titration, as well as the S pO 2 target, may have an impact on oxygen utilization …

Introduction We developed a device (FreeO2) that automatically adjusts the oxygen flow
rates based on patients' needs, in order to limit hyperoxia and hypoxemia and to …

OCDs are available and their use is growing in the home care market because of economic
factors associated with LTOT, but this trend has evolved with little clinical research. There is …
