Observance of Long Term Oxygen Therapy in Chronic Inspiratory Disease Patients
Observance of Long Term Oxygen Therapy in Chronic Inspiratory Disease Patients
Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is the reference treatment for chronic respiratory failure.
 This treatment is based on the principle of oxygen supplementation via a source to correct
 hypoxemia in patients. At present, adherence to this treatment is difficult to evaluate
 (reporting by patients), but the results of the literature show poor LTOT compliance. It is
 therefore important to accurately measure the oxygen consumption by patients and to
 understand the factors explaining LTOT compliance. The ultimate aim is to improve our patient
 management to make them more observant in order to improve the therapeutic efficacy of the
 treatment.
