How often do you monitor the oxygen saturation in COPD patients?
This varies with the severity of the COPD and how well the patient is doing on whatever the current oxygen therapy happens to be. The doctor will adjust the oxygen if the patient seems to need more than what was originally prescribed; patients on long-term oxygen therapy have regular check-ups to make sure all continues to go well. Doctors will sometimes use a device called a pulse oximeter for rapid assessment, especially if the patient is experiencing some distress that he or she was not having before. And some doctors are now encouraging patients to have a pulse oximeter at home, so they can monitor their oxygen saturation after physical activity, or between doctor's visits.
