Oxygen Titration Guidelines DECREASING INCREASING O2 conversion Cannula to mask Approximate 1LPM = 24% 2LPM = 28% 3LPM = 30% 4LPM = 33% 5LPM = 36% 6LPM = 40% Patient Patient SpO2 86-90% SpO2 <85% OFF O2 Room Air On O2 SpO2 > 90% Increase O2 by 2 LPM to a max of 6LPM Increase O2 by 4 LPM Check patient q shift. * O2 at rest should be > 90% and with activity >88% ↓ O2 1LPM for SpO2 90-95% ↓ O2 2LPM for SpO2 95-99% Repeat SpO2 after 5 minutes Repeat SpO2 after 5 minutes Repeat SpO2 after 5 minutes If O2 sat > 90% leave pt. on RA If O2 sat < 90% resume O₂ protocol SpO2> 90% then repeat above until patient is off O2 SpO2 < 90% Return to the O₂ setting where the patient met the titration goal. If SpO2 < 90 % – repeat above If SpO2  >90% -monitor If SpO₂ > 90% -monitor Call RT if SpO₂ < 90% Nasal cannulas can only increase to a total of 6 LPM O₂. After that refer to the guidelines for O₂ Therapy Delivery Devices Consult RT for any patient with <90% saturation on 50% FM, nasal moustache *O₂ therapy for patients experiencing chest pain can be discontinued when chest pain disappears with no further sats required UOHI/2004/28/04
