Popis: SummaryBackgroundRespiratory disease may cause profound hypoxaemia during flight. Previously derived linear equations poorly predict the need for supplemental oxygen during air travel. The current gold standard assessment is the hypoxic challenge test (HCT). Recent guidelines recommend HCT is performed for those patients with SpO2
