• This tool supports, but does not replace, clinical judgement.
• Follow local oxygen prescribing policy and seek specialist respiratory input where needed.
• Patients at risk of hypercapnia (e.g. COPD) require a target range of 88–92% until blood gases reviewed.
• Audit identifiers should be pseudonymised — do not record patient-identifiable data.
