You could feed the Oxygen tube through several empty Paper Towel rolls, for as many feet in length as needed.
You may have to ask neighbors for their empty rolls - We needed quite a few but it DID eliminate the Oxygen cord tangling/pinching.

And if wheelchairs are also used around the oxygen tubing, possibly get some sturdy but still flexible garden hose from Home Depot or a Hardware store & cut it to shorter sizes. Keep lengths at 9-10 inch or longer to keep flexibility in the oxygen hose but to prevent total kink/cut-off of air delivery in case a wheel rolls over the oxy-tube. The added garden hose provides more protection but is still flexible.
Hope it helps!

lawheadd63: Per Google "I have found that if I use a big clip and clip the hose to my shirt I don't have to hold on to the hose, works pretty good."

Generally keep the hose short. You can also use a coiled hose. You might try an oxygen concentrator you carry, the hose is very short

IV pole on wheels or something similar on the side and several clothes pins or velcro ties that you use for electronics cables

I have a bent hard plastic place-mat taped to the side of my mom's recliner, flush to the very front of the chair. it keeps the cord from sliding under the side/front for the most part -- still have to keep an eye out for the recliner "eating" the cord when it is set upright.

Get one of those large black binder clips. Thread the hose through the silver handle pieces, then clip it on the top back of the chair with some slack so the wearer can sit in the chair and still move their head around or lean forward without it pulling on them.

If you want to keep it away from the chair, put the clip on a small side table or TV tray next to the wearer.
