LID - D5690 [pii] AB - Prescription of long term oxygen treatment ( LTOT),based on old studies, is only indicated if there is severe hypoxaemia at rest (PaO2 < 8,0 kPa) and should be used atleast 15 hours per day.However as newer treatments like nocturnal non-invasive ventilatory support showed to be beneficial, LTOT stands not on its own but should be part of a multidimensional approach in individual patients with COPD.
