Section 3.5.2.1: Choice of oxygen therapy

Patients with mild hypoxemia should be put on nasal cannula, 5 L/min. If the patient is getting worse, high flow nasal cannula should be considered, starting with 20 L/min and increasing to 50-60 L/min gradually. Fraction of oxygen should be adjusted according to oxygen saturation.
