That is what I thought. My book basically suggests o2 always.
The onset of oxygen toxicity is upwards of an hour. So technically prolonged O2 administration to COPDers is bad but idk if it's really pertinent in a prehospital setting unless it's a long transport.
Never deprive oxygen regardless of COPD diagnosis.
I was taught always give o2 it cant hurt anyone it can only help.
