Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is a treatment that involves the provision of supplemental oxygen to individuals with respiratory disease to correct hypoxemia in the post-acute care environment. Over 1.5 million adults in the United States use supplemental oxygen for various respiratory disorders. This paper explores literature published on LTOT from September 2022-September 2023. Upon the conclusion of this literature review, 4 distinct categories emerged. This paper highlights the significant findings associated with the 4 categories: supplemental oxygen and COVID-19, telemonitoring, LTOT equipment, and in-home high-flow nasal cannula.
长期氧疗(LTOT)是一种治疗方法,涉及为患有呼吸系统疾病的个体提供补充氧气,以纠正急性后护理环境中的低氧血症。在美国,超过 150 万成年人因各种呼吸系统疾病使用补充氧气。本文探讨了 2022 年 9 月至 2023 年 9 月期间发表的有关 LTOT 的文献。在对文献进行综述后,出现了 4 个不同的类别。本文重点介绍了与这 4 个类别相关的重要发现:补充氧气和 COVID-19、远程监测、LTOT 设备和家庭高流量鼻导管。
