Chronic hypoxaemia in children is diagnosed using pulse oximetry, a method that has limitations, but alternative tests are rarely required. Whilst there are clear advantages in therapy with oxygen outside the hospital setting, clinicians need to be aware of potential impact on family life, housing, school attendance and travel. The process of prescribing is standardised in the UK, and it is crucial for clinicians to understand risks and equipment used to deliver oxygen in the community. Regular follow up is important and input from community-based professionals is hugely beneficial. Some children on long-term oxygen therapy may be able to wean and eventually stop therapy.
