Long-term ambulatory oxygen therapy has been under study in this country and Europe for nearly a quarter of a century.[1] Improved survival of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cor pulmonale with the use of ambulatory oxygen therapy was first reported 20 years ago....

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may benefit from ambulatory oxygen; however, the effect of exercise on arterial oxygen saturation (Sa,O2) in patients with kyphoscoliosis and of correction with ambulatory oxygen have not been previously reported. Twelve patients with stable ...
This can cause serious brain damage from a lack of oxygen. A stroke caused by a blood clot is called an ischemic stroke. A stroke caused by a burst or torn blood vessel is called an intracerebral hemorrhage, or a hemorrhagic stroke. When stroke symptoms go away completely within minutes to...
Poststroke guidelines recommend moderate-intensity, continuous aerobic training (MCT) to improve aerobic capacity and mobility after stroke. High-intensity interval training (HIT) has been shown to be more effective than MCT among healthy adults and people with heart disease. However, HIT and MCT ha...
ambulatory careleaders must improve communication. Effective administration is unattainable without leadership and communication in an operating room. When considering outpatient perioperative therapy, it is equally crucial to consider medical costs. Given the unsustainable rate of healthcare spending growth, ...
UK guidelines for domiciliary oxygen have suggested the six-minute walk test or shuttle walk tests as suitable functional measures for the clinical assessment of ambulatory oxygen (AO). To date, there is limited evidence that would support the use of shuttle walk tests as assessment tools for AO...
