Covid, oximeter as a thermometer, keep it at home

“For the cost-benefit ratio, I think it’s convenient to have an oximeter in the house. It should become like the thermometer, everyone has one in the house.” He explained it Luca Richeldi, director of the Pneumology UOC of the Gemelli Irccs Polyclinic in Rome and member of the technical-scientific committee on the coronavirus emergency, guest of ‘SkyTg24’ answering the question about the usefulness of having a saturation at home.

The Covid-19 virus “affects the lungs – he recalled – and let’s say that the first alarm that tells us that it is appropriate to seek help in the hospital is that of a decrease in oxygen saturation, certainly always under the control of your doctor . But the oximeter allows us to communicate to the doctor an extra numerical element that can be precious “.
