In COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) the maximum oxygen saturation required is 89-92 %. In this percentage adequate oxygen delivered to tissue. the main goal is to achieve an acceptable oxygen saturation and prevent hypercapnia. In COPD alveolar destruction occurs and due to this oxygen transfer got destructed and leads to hypercapnia.
so, administering high-level oxygen immediately may lead to retention of carbon dioxide by hesitation to increase ventilation and occurs hypercapnia and other risks like drowsiness, headache, and prolonged condition leads to death.
oxygen therapy for COPD patients varies according to their condition.
People with COPD who are breathing spontaneously should never receive high levels of oxygen therapy? Why

A home health nurse visits a client who has COPD and receives oxygen at 2 min via nasal cannula. The client reports difficulty breathing. Which of the following action is the nurse's priority? Increase the oxygen flow to 3 min Assess the client's respiratory status Call emergency services for the client Have the client cough and expectorate secretions
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease that makes it difficult for people to breathe, since small airways in their lungs become blocked. This can make patients gasp for breath or breathe at a higher than usual rate to try to get oxygen. A common treatment for this problem is to have patients breathe oxygen through breathing tubes. We have a sample of COPD patients who naturally breathe at the same rate. Each patient walks on a treadmill...
