Abstract
When well-documented hypoxemia does not respond to the more conventional methods of treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, home oxygen therapy should be considered. The convenience, cost, and practicality of options now available for providing long-term home therapy and criteria for choosing candidates for such treatment are discussed.Keywords
