Oxygen Therapy in COPD: Avoiding Respiratory Acidosis This video discusses the importance of not over-ventilating COPD patients with high-flow oxygen therapy, as it can disrupt the delicate balance of gas exchange and worsen respiratory acidosis. The video also explains the reasons behind this, including the role of hypoxic vasoconstriction and the Haldane effect. Additionally, the video covers the indications for long-term oxygen therapy in COPD patients. #COPD #OxygenTherapy #RespiratoryAcidos
