Chinese medical whose called expert Zhang Wenhong, a leading expert of Shanghai CDC, said in his latest COVID-19 report that, except the infected showing no symptoms, 85% of patients with mild symptoms can self-heal at home, while only 15% require hospitalization.
What should we do in home healing after diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia?
Monitor blood oxygen content at any time.
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States (CDC), the lung cannot work properly because of COVID-19 pneumonia, which reduces blood oxygen levels. COVID-19 patients must regularly monitor the oxygen levels. With constant monitoring by fingertip pulse oximeter, according to Boston University, when SpO2 is below 92%, it’s a cause for concern and a doctor might decide to intervene with supplemental oxygen. And if the value is below 80, the patient should be sent to hospital for oxygen absorption. Or get home oxygen therapy via oxygen concentrator.
Fingertip pulse oximeter and oxygen concentrator are all easily accessible. With portable size, low detection cost, easy operation and affordable prices for every one, fingertip pulse oximeter can be a specific and rapid indicator for determination of COVID-19 pneumonia severity, which can be used both at home and clinics. Once the patient's blood oxygen levels are too low, oxygen concentrators must be used. Patients can choose to get oxygen supplement, or purchase a oxygen concentrator for home use, with medical level purity and silent working, can be used during sleep, ensure a sound sleep the whole night.
As the general secretary of WHO Tedros said, the key to fighting the virus jointly is to share resources fairly. While oxygen is one of the most essential drugs to save the COVID-19 patients, it will be of great help if blood oxygen detection and supplemental oxygen are available for every one.
