A member asked:
What is the prescribed litres/min of oxygen that an asthmatic patient receives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No one size fits all: Most asthma patients would never need oxygen. When/if their event resulted in a decline in blood oxygen content the supplemental oxygen uses would be the minimum needed to bring levels up to the desired range.
