Njengoko i-coronavirus iqhubeka ukusasazeka, kunjalo nokuthetha ngesixhobo esincinci sonyango amandla bakwazi ukwazisa abaguli ukuba bafune uncedo kwangoko. Ukukhumbuza i-dressspin kwimilo kunye nobukhulu, i-oximeter yokubetha ngobunono kumnwe wakho kwaye, ngemizuzwana, ulinganisa izinga lokubetha kwentliziyo yakho kunye nenqanaba leoksijini yegazi, ezinokuthi zibe nefuthe kwizigulana ze-COVID-19.

Ukuba oku kuvakala kuqhelekile, kungenxa yokuba uye wazibonela ngawakhe isixhobo kwiofisi kagqirha okanye, ubuncinci, usibonile kwisiqendu Ngwevu.

Ngaphandle kokuthandwa kwabo okutsha, ii-oximeter ze-pulse aziyonxalenye (ubuncinci okwangoku) ye-COVID-19 esemthethweni yokuthintela kunye nezikhokelo zonyango ezisekwe yimibutho emikhulu yezempilo. Nangona kunjalo, abanye oogqirha bakholelwa ukuba igajethi encinci inokuba ngumdlali obalulekileyo phakathi kobhubhane, ukunceda abantu, ngakumbi abo bangenamajoni omzimba kunye neemeko zemiphunga esele zikhona (ngenxa yomngcipheko wabo owongezelelweyo wokufumana intsholongwane), ukubeka iliso kumanqanaba abo ngaphandle kokushiya indlu yabo. (ngapha koko, uninzi lwamazwe lusagxininisa ukubaluleka kokuhlala ekhaya). Khumbula: i-coronavirus inokonakalisa imiphunga yakho, ikhokelela ekuphefumlweni kwaye yehlise inqanaba leoksijini yegazi.

Nantsi into ekufuneka uyazi.

Yintoni i-pulse oximeter kwaye isebenza njani?

I-oximeter ye-pulse (aka pulse ox) sisixhobo se-elektroniki esilinganisa ukubetha kwentliziyo yakho kunye nokugcwala okanye inani leoksijini kwiiseli zakho ezibomvu zegazi, ngokwe-American Lung Association (ALA). Ngelixa itekhnoloji inokuthi iqhotyoshelwe kwamanye amalungu omzimba wakho (okt impumlo, iindlebe, iinzwane), i-oximeter yokubetha ibekwa kumnwe wakho. Isixhobo esincinci sibambelela kancinci emnweni wakho kwaye silinganise inqanaba leoksijini yegazi lakho ngokukhanya ngokukhanya kweminwe yakho. Ijolise kwi-hemoglobin, iprotheni kwiiseli zakho ezibomvu zegazi ezithwala ioksijini ukusuka emiphungeni yakho ukuya kuwo wonke umzimba wakho. Kuxhomekeke ekubeni ingakanani ioksijini eyiphetheyo, i-hemoglobin ifunxa izixa ezahlukeneyo kunye namaza okukhanya okukhanya. Ke, ubungakanani bokukhanya okufunxwe ligazi lakho kubonisa inqanaba leoksijini yegazi yakho ukubetha kwentliziyo, ngokwe-World Health Organisation (WHO).

Nangona uphando oluthile lufumanise ukuba ukuchaneka kwezi zifundo kunokuhluka ngokuxhomekeke kumnwe osetyenzisiweyo, uninzi lweengcali zonyango zibeka i-oximeter ye-pulse kwisalathiso somnwe wesigulana. Ufuna ukuphepha iipilisi ezimnyama kunye nezikhonkwane ezide okanye ezingeyonyani, njengoko ezi zinto-kunye nezandla ezibandayo-zinokuchaphazela ukuchaneka kweziphumo, utsho u-Osita Onugha, MD, oyintloko yotyando lwe-robotic thoracic kunye nomlawuli weLabhu ye-Surgical Innovation Lab. kwiziko likaJohn Wayne Cancer kwiZiko lezeMpilo likaJohn Saint eSanta Monica, eCalifornia.

Ke kufanele ukuba ntoni xa ufunda ukubetha kwe-oximeter, kufanelekile? Ukugcwaliswa kweoksijini yegazi lakho kufanele ukuba kube phakathi kweepesenti ezingama-95-100, ngokwe-WHO. Uninzi lwabantu abanempilo, nangona kunjalo, luya kufumana ukufundwa phakathi kwe-95-98 ipesenti, uthi uDkt Onugha. Kwaye ukuba ufundela ukuntywila ngaphantsi kweepesenti ezingama-93, kuya kufuneka ubize ugqirha wakho, ngakumbi ukuba inqanaba lakho beliphakamile ngaphambili, wongeza uDavid Cennimo, MD, unjingalwazi oncedisayo kwezamayeza eRutgers New Jersey Medical School. Oku kunokuthetha ukuba unokuba ne-hypoxic, apho umzimba wakho uthintelwa khona ioksijini, ngokwe-WHO. Noko ke, ukwahluka kwesi-1 ukuya kwisi-2 ekhulwini ukusuka ekufundeni ukuya ekufundeni kuyinto eqhelekileyo, wongezelela ngelithi uGqr. Cennimo.

“Ngandlel’ ithile, oku kufana nokuba nesixhobo sokulinganisa ubushushu,” utsho. "[I-oximeter ye-pulse] inokuba luncedo, kodwa ndiyathemba ukuba ayizukumenza umntu ophambeneyo athabathele phezulu ngamanani. ukhathalelo nokuba i-pulse ox 'yabo iqhelekile.' "

Kwaye, ngexesha lobhubhani we-coronavirus, zezi zinto zixhalabisayo zokuphefumla ezinabantu abathe kratya kulo naluphi na utshintsho ekusebenzeni kwemiphunga okanye impilo ngoku.

Ngaba ungasebenzisa i-pulse yenkomo ukubona i-coronavirus?

Hayi kanye.

I-COVID-19 inokubangela ukusabela okuvuthayo emiphungeni, iingxaki zemiphunga ezinje nge-pneumonia, kunye / okanye incinci, amahlwili egazi amancinci kwimiphunga. (Sisiphi, btw, sesinye sezizathu zokuba umphunga kukholelwa ukuba wonyusa umngcipheko wakho we-coronavirus.) Xa umntu esiba nesifo semiphunga okanye imiphunga, imizimba yabo inokuba nengxaki yokuhambisa ioksijini ukusuka kwi-alveoli (iingxowa ezincinci emiphungeni kwimiphunga). Ukuphela kweetyhubhu zakho ze-bronchial) kwiiseli zazo zegazi, utshilo uGqirha Cennimo. Kwaye le yinto oogqirha abayifumanayo kwizigulana ze-COVID-19, wongeza. (I-Psst ... ezinye izigulana ze-coronavirus zinokufumana irhashalala.)

Oogqirha bayayiqaphela imeko eyothusayo eyaziwa ngokuba yi "cwaka yehypoxia" phakathi kwezigulana zecoronavirus, apho amanqanaba okugcwala kweoksijini ephantsi kakhulu, kodwa abanakuphefumla, utshilo uGqirha Cennimo. Ke, kukho iziphakamiso zokuba ukujonga ngakumbi kunokuchonga ukwehla kokugcwala kweoksijini-kwaye kubangele ukunika ioksijini-kwangethuba, uyachaza.

Ngeli xesha, kukho nengxoxo yokuba ukujonga rhoqo nge-pulse oximeter kunokuba luncedo ekujongeni abasebenzi abayimfuneko ukubonisa ukuba banayo na intsholongwane kwaye kufuneka bazimele bodwa.Kodwa uGqirha Onugha akaqinisekanga ukuba iya kuba luncedo. "Nge-COVID-19, kunokwenzeka ukuba ubonise umkhuhlane kuqala, emva koko ukhohlele, emva koko ube nobunzima bokuphefumla, ukuba ufikelela kuloo ndawo. Inqanaba elisezantsi lokugcwalisa ioksijini akunakulindeleka ukuba ibe luphawu lwakho lokuqala," utshilo. (Eyeleleneyo: Ezona mpawu ziqhelekileyo zeCoronavirus ekufuneka uzijonge, ngokweengcali)

Ke, ngaba kufuneka uthenge i-oximeter yokubetha?

Ithiyori yeyokuba ukusebenzisa rhoqo nangokufanelekileyo i-pulse oximeter kunokuvumela abaguli abane-COVID-19 kunye nabangenayo i-COVID-19 ukuba balandelele amanqanaba abo okugcwala kweoksijini. Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba uphume uye kuthenga enye, yazi ukuba oogqirha bahlulelene malunga nokuba ingaba bayinyani na ngobhubhane (njengokuthi, ubuso beemaski).

"Ndicinga ukuba yinto efanelekileyo kwizigulane ezine-COVID-19 ezizimeleyo ekhaya, nje kuphela ukuba ziyazi ukuba zenzeni ngolwazi - yiyiphi inqanaba le-oksijini ephantsi kakhulu, kwaye yintoni enokuyenza xa oko kwenzeka," kusho uRichard Watkins, MD, ugqirha wesifo esosulelayo eAkron, eOhio, kunye noprofesa onxulumene nonyango lwangaphakathi kwiYunivesithi yaseNyakatho-mpuma yeOhio. (Musa ukuphaphazela kwaye ubize ugqirha wakho.)

Ukwacinga ukuba inkomo yenkomo inokubaluleka kubantu abarhanelwa (funda: ayiqinisekiswanga) ityala le-COVID-19: "Ndiye ndazibuza ngabantu ababhubhele ekhaya-ingakumbi abantu abancinci-ukuba ipulse oximeter inokuba nayo. babazise okanye nosapho lwabo ukuba basengxakini. " (Eyeleleneyo: Kanye into omawuyenze ukuba uhlala nomntu oneCoronavirus)

Kodwa ayinguye wonke umntu ocinga ukuba iyimfuneko. UGqr. Onugha kunye noGqr Cennimo bobabini bayavuma ukuba isixhobo kusenokwenzeka ukuba asifuneki kubantu ngokubanzi. "Ukuba unesimo esele sikhona njenge-asthma okanye i-COPD, kunokuba luncedo kuwe ukwazi ukuba yeyiphi amanqanaba e-oxygen saturation," wongeza uGqirha Onugha. "Kwaye, ukuba ufunyaniswe une-COVID-19, kunokuba luncedo [ukubeka esweni imeko yakho], kodwa, ngokubanzi, andicingi ukuba kuluncedo kuye wonke umntu."

Kwaye akukho zindululo zisemthethweni ezivela kwimibutho emikhulu yezonyango enje ngamaZiko okuLawula nokuThintela izifo (i-CDC), i-WHO, kunye neAmerican Medical Association (AMA) malunga nokusebenzisa i-oximeter yokubetha xa kufikwa kwi-COVID-19. Ngaphezu koko, i-ALA kutsha nje ikhuphe ukukhutshwa koonondaba, ilumkisa ukuba i-oximeter yokubetha "ayithathi ndawo yokuthetha nomboneleli wezempilo" kwaye "uninzi lwabantu aludingi ukuba ne-oximeter yokubetha kumakhaya abo." (Izinto omawuzenze ukuba ucinga ukuba une-coronavirus)

Okwangoku, ukuba yenza ufuna ukuthenga enye ngezizathu ezinxulumene ne-coronavirus okanye ngenye indlela-ziyafikeleleka kwaye ezi nguqulelo zasekhaya ziyafikeleleka-nokuba yeyiphi i-pulse oximeter onokuyifumana kwivenkile yamachiza yendawo okanye kwi-intanethi kufuneka yanele, utshilo uGqr. Onugha. Zonke zichanekile ngokufanelekileyo, ubukhulu becala, utshilo. Zama i-ChoiceMMEd Pulse Oximeter (Yithenge, i-$ 35, i-target.com) okanye i-NuvoMed Pulse Oximeter (Yithenge, i-$ 60, i-cvs.com). Intloko inyusa ukuba ii-oximeter ezininzi ze-pulse zithengisiwe ngoku, kungathatha uphando oluncinci ukufumana igajethi ekhoyo. (Ukuba ufuna ukucokiseka kakhulu, ungajonga iDatha yeSaziso seNdawo yentengiso yezoKutya kunye noLawulo lweziyobisi kwaye ukhangele "i-oximeter" ukufumana uluhlu lwezixhobo ezivunyiweyo yi-FDA.)

Ulwazi kweli bali luchanekile ngexesha lokushicilelwa. Njengoko uhlaziyo malunga ne-coronavirus ye-COVID-19 luqhubeka nokuvela, kunokwenzeka ukuba ezinye iinkcukacha kunye nezindululo kweli bali zitshintshile ukusukela ekupapashweni kwayo. Siyakukhuthaza ukuba ujonge rhoqo ngezixhobo ezinjenge-CDC, i-WHO, kunye nesebe lezempilo likarhulumente kwindawo yakho yokufumana olona lwazi lwanamhlanje kunye neengcebiso.
