Use 88–92% target range for patients at risk of type 2 respiratory failure (e.g. COPD).
Use 94–98% target range for most other acutely unwell adults.
Oxygen is a drug — every patient receiving it should have a documented prescription, target range and review plan.
Record exclusion reasons clearly so denominators remain defensible.
