Predicting the Need for Supplemental Oxygen During Airline Flight in Patients with Chronic Pulmonary Disease: A Comparison of Predictive Equations and Altitude Simulation

BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic pulmonary diseases are at increased risk of hypoxemia when travelling by air. Screening guidelines, predictive equations based on ground level measurements and altitude simulation laboratory procedures have been recommended for determining risk but have not been rig...
