Randomized controlled trial of high concentration oxygen in suspected community-acquired pneumonia:

Wijesinghe, M. et al

31 May, 2012

This suggests that the potential increase in PaCO2 with high concentration oxygen therapy is not limited to COPD, but may also occur in other respiratory disorders with abnormal gas exchange.
