Due to advances in medicine, patients are living longer with more complex medical needs. As a result, rehab clinicians are evaluating and treating patients who require supplemental oxygen. It is important that clinicians understand how to appropriately utilize and manage various oxygen delivery devices during rehab sessions. This course will educate clinicians on how to safely manage and make clinical decisions for patients requiring supplemental oxygen, including device selection and oxygen titration. Information in this course could be applicable in any setting where health professions treat and mobilize patients on supplemental oxygen, including physical therapy and occupational therapy.

Chapters & learning objectives
1. Introduction to Oxygen and Oxygen Delivery Devices
This chapter will provide an overall understanding of oxygen and oxygen delivery, including the various oxygen devices that are encountered in patient care. To safely conduct rehab sessions for patients on supplemental oxygen, it is important to know the clinical decision-making process as well as the benefits and limitations of each oxygen delivery device.
2. Oxygen Management
This chapter will cover components of assessment and treatment for a patient requiring supplemental oxygen. It is important for a rehab clinician to understand the preparation required for a session, the titration/weaning process, and signs of activity intolerance.
3. Patient Cases
This chapter will explore various patient scenarios to facilitate clinical decision-making skills on appropriate oxygen delivery device selection. It is important for the rehab clinician to be able to apply the concepts discussed in this course to select appropriate oxygen delivery devices when mobilizing patients.
