The National Board of Health, in collaboration with the professional working group, has prepared a national clinical guideline for oxygen therapy in acutely ill adult patients.

The guideline is based on the British guideline "Oxygen therapy for acutely ill medical patients: a clinical practice guideline" and is adapted to Danish conditions in collaboration with a broadly established professional working group.

The new guideline comes with specific recommendations for when and how acutely ill adult patients to be treated with oxygen and focuses on both the patients with normal and low oxygen levels in the blood.

The guideline is in consultation until August 23, 2019.
