Taking oxygen overnight

2021-04-27 18:54:09
Is it ok to let the oxygen cylinder be connected to the patient overnight and let the patient breathe through it only? Is it harmful to take in too much oxygen from the oxygen cylinder. The patient is having low saturation levels due to covid and having breathlessness for which we have setup an oxygen cylinder at home.
