"The American Thoracic Society has posted online its latest clinical practice guideline on home oxygen therapy, addressing long-term and ambulatory therapy for adults with COPD. 

The guideline makes the following recommendations: 

• In adults with COPD who have severe chronic resting room air hypoxemia, we recommend prescribing long-term oxygen therapy at least 15 hours per day. 
• In adults with COPD who have moderate chronic resting room air hypoxemia, we suggest not prescribing LTOT. 
• In adults with COPD who have severe exertional room air hypoxemia we suggest prescribing ambulatory oxygen."
