From the author: Although the Hypoxic Drive Theory has been a long-time influence on the care of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in reality a relatively fine line exists between optimal and excessive oxygen therapy. Medical-surgical nurses need a clear understanding of the benefits and the possible complications of oxygen therapy in patients with COPD.
