Current practice of prescription and administration of oxygen therapy: An observational study at a single teaching hospital
2019, Journal of Taibah University Medical SciencesCitation Excerpt :Reports from New Zealand have indicated that one-third of patients received oxygen therapy that did not match prescription, and 75% of oxygen prescriptions were inadequate.8 Other reports have indicated that 28% of patients on oxygen therapy did not have physicians’ orders,9 and only 11% of patients had oxygen prescription which fulfilled the in-hospital-use guideline.10 A report from England has indicated that only 16% of the patients received oxygen therapy that matched prescription.11
Low-flow oxygen therapy in intensive care: An observational study
2011, Australian Critical CareCitation Excerpt :A failure to safely manage low-flow oxygen therapy places the patient at risk of hypoxaemia, worsening respiratory dysfunction and death.9,10 Previous studies conducted in non-critical care settings have shown the nursing management of oxygen therapy across a range of contexts to be suboptimal.11–20 There is scant published evidence that explains how intensive care nurses’ manage low-flow oxygen therapy; and, hence little is known about how low-flow oxygen therapy is delivered on a daily basis.
