I see this weeks BMJ (P871) perpetuates the myth that high O2
concentrations should not be used in COPD patients with an 'acute
situation'. The authors also state that some GPs carry small O2 cylinders
that deliver 2 litres per minute! I suppose that might be true of a small
number of GPs, but not most.
I like my tubigrip too. Quadruple tubigrip prevented me developing a
haemarthrosis from torn cruciates on one of my expeditions!
There is so little quality evidence around for the things we do daily!
