When we say COPD, this means Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder. COPD includes a group of lung diseases which have progressed into a worse condition. One example of this is emphysema. In cases of COPD, they should be provided oxygen therapy and the best flow rate for patients with this disorder is 8-10 L/min, high-flow, via nasal prong. Hope this helps.
