Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to:
- Trace the historical evolution of long-term oxygen therapy from early oxygen discovery through the landmark clinical trials of the twentieth century.
- Explain the physiological rationale for oxygen dosing in chronic hypoxemic conditions, including titration methods and therapeutic targets.
- Define oxygen toxicity and describe evidence-based strategies for safe LTOT administration across clinical settings.
- Compare the major oxygen delivery technologies—stationary concentrators, liquid oxygen systems, portable devices, and transtracheal oxygen—with respect to clinical indications, advantages, and limitations.
- Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of LTOT in terms of patient outcomes, hospitalizations, and healthcare resource utilization.
