My name is Larry Boughton. I'm a Paramedic in New York State.
 In Pts with COPD medics use the pulse ox.  Well the Answer to this
question is treat the pt not the monitor.  if you treat the pt for
example, Is the pt having difficulty breathing, is the pt cyanotic, what
do the lungs sound like.  I was told even if the pt has COPD and is
having trouble breathing you use high flow oxygen.
