Dr. Adams,
When would you recommend using oxygen with exercise? Are there guidelines for this, or should you just watch your levels and back off on exercise when thet get too low?

Hello:
I like to check the oxygen saturation at rest and again during exercise. In COPD and fibrosis, 02 levels commonly drop during exertion. If the level goes below 88% during exercise I would place 02 before the exercise session begins to prevent this drop.
I would again check the level with 02 on to make sure that the liter flow is enough to keep 02 saturation above 88%.
