Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of long‐term oxygen therapy (LTOT)‐related adverse outcomes in our health service. LTOT patients retrospectively recruited had their medical records reviewed for the period of 1 January 2014 to 30 June 2018. Burns, physical injuries, any falls attributable to LTOT requiring admission were the outcomes measured. Of 291 patients, four patients required admission due to LTOT‐related adverse events where three admissions were related to falls secondary to tripping over oxygen tubing.
