For oxygen absorption flow, you can refer to the following!
1、Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation. When the patient is in the stable stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, it is recommended to continue low-flow oxygen, generally 1.5-3.5L per hour, but the specific time depends on the severity of the patient's condition:
2, bronchial asthma: When the patient is in the acute phase of bronchial asthma, it is recommended to continue low flow oxygen, generally 1-2.5L per hour, but the specific time depends on the severity of the patient's condition。
3, cardiac insufficiency: refers to the heart can not be under sufficient load, the blood to the aorta, so as to ensure normal physiological function of the disease. When the patient is in a state of cardiac insufficiency, it is recommended to carry out continuous low-flow oxygen inhalation generally 1-2L per hour, but the specific time depends on the severity of the patient's condition.
4, cerebrovascular diseases: such as cerebral ischemia, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction and other diseases, these diseases may lead to patients with cerebral hypoxia, at this time it is recommended that patients carry out low-flow continuous oxygen inhalation, generally 1.5-3.5L per hour, but the specific time depends on the severity of the patient's condition.

In addition, the oxygen inhalation methods used in clinical practice also include nasal catheter, facial oxygen inhalation, etc., different oxygen inhalation methods, the specific inhalation time is not the same.
