by Walter J. O'donohue

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This outstanding state-of-the-art reference presents current knowledge of the physiological effects of long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) on the cardiopulmonary system and on the neuropsychological function - detailing the scientific basis for its use in both adults and children with chronic hypoxemia.

Book News Annotation:

A broad reference for specialist and general clinicians to long- term oxygen therapy, which has gained enough recognition to be covered by Medicare and other third-party payers. Details the scientific basis for its use for adults and children with chronic hypoxemia and synthesizes the current knowledge about its physiological effects on the cardiopulmonary system and neuropsychological function. Also discusses such aspects as the history of the therapy, indications and appropriate use, the effects of oxygen on exercise, the role of the home oxygen provider in education and assessment, delivery systems, oxygen- conserving devices, traveling with oxygen, and experience with an oxygen registry in Sweden.
