The process of devising and undertaking a trial to evaluate oxygen therapy products.
Streamlining the use of oxygen therapy products across a single trust has the merits of removing the need to switch equipment as patients are moved from one area to another and reducing the confusion faced by staff having to use similar, but different, products; it also improves patient care. The trial described incorporated all these strands.
