Nocturnal oxygen will be increased hourly for a period of four hours up to 4 liters per minute (LPM). If the oxygen saturation (SpO2) falls below 70% the oxygen rate will be increased until patients achieve the threshold of 70% and then will proceed with titrations of 1 liter per minute LPM per hour.
