A pulse oximeter is a device which measures the level of oxygen in the blood.
Given the impact of the novel coronavirus on the respiratory system, a drop in
oxygen level in the blood is an early indicator of the lungs being infected. How
does an oximeter help in combating COVID-19? The most important thing to look
out for in a COVID-19 patient is the drop in oxygen levels. When the oxygen levels
drop really low, the kidneys, heart, brain and all the vital organs start deteriorating
because they are not getting the required amount of oxygen. So it's VITAL to keep
monitoring the oxygen saturation of a COVID-19 patient.
However, don't look at one single value but rather at the trend. If a person has
normal oxygen levels in the beginning and then it starts declining, that is a more
important indicator than a single reading. If the oxygen level falls below 95%, seek
immediate medical attention.
A spirometer is a great tool to keep your lungs in good condition, and if one tests
positive for Covid-19, it is even more important. When people don't breathe deeply
enough, fluid and germs can build up in the lungs. This can lead to faster and
further deterioration . Using an incentive spirometer can help slow / stop this
from happening.
Make a plan for how you will fit the required number of breathing exercises into
your daily routine. For example, aim to do 10 breaths at an interval set by your
doctor.
Set a reminder. Program your phone to remind you when it's time to do your
breathing exercises. But do not ignore this vital tool.
Steam Inhalation does not kill the COVID-19 virus, but inhaling steam helps with
the symptoms of respiratory issues like nasal congestion, cough and chest
congestion.
Steam carries the risks of burns so it's a smart idea to use an electric steam
machine on a stable surface to minimize this risk.
Proper nutrition and hydration are the important tools for a quick recovery from
Covid-19. The patient must take rest and drink plenty of fluids to maintain
adequate hydration.
