    • Reimbursement and delivery methods are crucial logistical factors in oxygen therapy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the essential considerations for prescribing oxygen therapy.
    • To emphasize the differences in oxygen indications for various patient states.
    • To highlight the role of nurse practitioners in managing oxygen therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current medical guidelines and pharmacological principles for oxygen use.
    • Analysis of patient care scenarios involving acute and chronic hypoxia.
