Feedback
That’s partly right.
Oxygen therapy should be started in all critically-ill patients and should be adjusted to maintain a normal oxygen saturation measured with pulse oximetry.
For patients at risk of hypercapnic respiratory failure, oxygen can be given with the aim of achieving an arterial oxygen saturation of 88-92% and with a critical patient, start high flow oxygen and then adjust to achieve target oxygen saturation once pulse oximetry is available.
