What is the whooping cough oxygen requirements?

In cases of whooping cough (pertussis), oxygen requirements vary depending on the severity of the disease and the patient's respiratory status. Mild cases may not require supplemental oxygen, while moderate to severe cases, especially in infants and those with significant respiratory distress, may need supplemental oxygen to maintain adequate oxygen saturation levels. Monitoring oxygen saturation is crucial, and healthcare providers may administer oxygen if levels drop below 92-94%. Treatment typically focuses on supportive care, including hydration and monitoring for complications.
