This article was created on 7 July 2009 as a direct spinoff of Oxygen toxicity as it was at this diff. Author contributions may be found from the corresponding history. The information may usefully be merged into chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other articles such as CO2 retention --RexxS (talk) 20:04, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with COPD

This should ideally be merged into the COPD article, or become part of a more general article about the emergency treatment of COPD.

We need to include the 2007 BTS guidelines for emergency oxygen. doi:10.1136/thx.2008.10294

We ought to mention the 2010 study that proved this in real life. doi:10.1136/bmj.c5462

I have yet to find the time to flesh out the COPD related content on Wikipedia. JFW | T@lk 10:18, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. • • • Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 19:44, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree because the article is more about the specific biological, chemical, and physical effects and properties of Oxygen on a given situation, The article is NOT primarily about COPD or how to treat it. Therefore, this article more rightly is a child article from other articles discussing the di-Oxygen molecule and its behavior. 71.91.178.54 (talk) 18:44, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's an interesting viewpoint. However the article IS primarily about COPD beyond any doubt. There's also a fundamental mistake in thinking that the COPD article is only about treatment. It's not. --RexxS (talk) 23:18, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am a reasonably well informed user of supplemental oxygen but not because of COPD. The content of this article is completely new to me. No one has told me to keep my O2 saturation somewhat low. Other O2 users of my acquaintance, who do have COPD, have not had their saturation levels kept down either; rather in a medically supervised environment, the O2 level is turned up if saturation falls below 97%. I suspect the information provided here in seriously incomplete. Janice Vian, Ph.D. (talk) 05:02, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Janice Margaret Vian: I can only suggest you read the sources used by the article, particularly "Oxygen therapy during exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease" if you're concerned about its conclusions regarding SPO2.

Having done that, if you can find good quality sources that contain the information you believe is missing from the article, then please bring them here so that the article can be expanded. --RexxS (talk) 12:22, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hypoxic drive

Just dropping a couple of articles and a blog post here. They may be useful in addressing the role (or lack of it) for hypoxic drive in increasing carbon dioxide levels in individuals with COPD who have oxygen administered:
