oxygen question

Published

What is meant by "domiciliary oxygen"? I've been checking on google for an

explanation - haven't found a clear definition. My book mentions it in terms of

its being used for fifteen hours/day and to achieve SaO2 greater than 90%

A quick google search looks like the term is used in regards to Australia. My interpretation would be that it is oxygen used in the home (a person's domicile). Home O2 therapy?
