The maximum level of oxygen supply for COPD patients is 28% ( i.e., 4 L/minute via venturi mask or 2 L/minute via nasal prongs) and oxygen saturation should be 88-92% that can not be life-threatening.

Evidence-based situation for analysis For patient health and safety, it is essential that nurses follow evidence-based practice in nursing when it comes to giving oxygen to patients with COPD. Although some believe that providing oxygen to these patients can create serious problems such as hypercapnia, acidosis, or even death. The evidence-based protocol is to provide oxygen to COPD patients. This practice can help prevent hypoxia and organ failure. Giving oxygen, which is the correct evidence-based treatment, can improve the quality...

Alterations in Respiratory Functioning Define - Hypoventilation What are the signs and symptoms Why do patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) require oxygen no greater than 1-3 L/min? What happens if a COPD patient receives too much oxygen?
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...

In a study of treatments for very painful "cluster" headaches, 144 patients were treated with oxygen and 144 other patients were given a placebo consisting of ordinary air. Among the 144 patients in the oxygen treatment group, 106 were free from headaches 15 minutes after treatment. Among the 144 patients given the placebo, 31 were free from headaches 15 minutes after treatment. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the oxygen treatment is effective.
