Administration of oxygen is an accepted component of the treatment of acute diseases leading to temporary arterial hypoxemia. In addition, long-term oxygen therapy of patients with chronic hypoxemia secondary to chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) has become increasingly common, after beneficial effects on quality of life and survival have been reported. This form of treatment, however, is costly, rather complex and demanding. Therefore, strict criteria have to be considered in the selection of hypoxemic patients with COPD. This article reviews the tests and criteria required for the prescription of long-term oxygen therapy as well as newer technical aspects in its application with special emphasis on transtracheal catheters.
给氧是治疗导致暂时性动脉低氧血症的急性疾病的公认组成部分。此外，在有报道称对慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）继发的慢性低氧血症患者进行长期氧疗对生活质量和生存率有有益影响之后，这种治疗形式已变得越来越普遍。然而，这种治疗形式成本高昂，相当复杂且要求苛刻。因此，在选择COPD低氧血症患者时必须考虑严格的标准。本文回顾了长期氧疗处方所需的测试和标准以及其应用中的更新技术方面，特别强调经气管导管。
