Somr patients may require long-term oxygen therapy at home after discharge
Consider this need early and get in contact with the local home oxygen service to refer your patient and discuss the best plan.
In Aberdeen you can access the Grampian Guidelines for home oxygen and referrals on the intranet or on aberdeenlungs.com from any NHS computer.
! For some patients it may be appropriate to reduce the target saturation range and discontinue oxygen below 94%, but this decision must be made by a senior clinician.
