Patients with polycythemia, pulmonary hypertension, or cor pulmonale are most likely to benefit from home oxygen therapy; in others, exercise tolerance can be improved and neuropsychologic effects of hypoxemia relieved. Indications for home therapy, methods of delivering outpatient oxygen, economic considerations, and possible complications are addressed.
