Supplemental oxygen in the home is essential to many patients with chronic pulmonary disease. However, selecting the appropriate system can be difficult and the selection should include input from a respiratory therapist who understands the devices. This presentation will discuss various oxygen delivery modes, limitations of portable oxygen concentrators, and factors that impact the delivery of oxygen from a portable oxygen concentrator.
