The guideline suggests aiming to achieve normal or near normal oxygen saturation for all acutely ill patients apart from those at risk of hypercapnic respiratory failure or those receiving terminal palliative care. Monitoring and maintenance of target saturation Oxygen saturation and delivery system should be recorded on the patient s monitoring chan alongside the oximetry result. Oxygen delivery devices and flow rates should be adjusted to keep the oxygen saturation in the target range. Oxygen should be signed for on the drug chart on each drug round. Weaning and discontinuation of oxygen therapy Oxygen should be reduced in stable patients with satisfactory oxygen saturation. Oxygen should be crossed off the drug chart once oxygen is discontinued.
