Short term home oxygen therapy COVID-19 patients: The COVID-HOT algorithm

Abstract: Innovative solutions are required to effectively address the unprecedented surge of demand on our healthcare systems created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Home treatment and monitoring of patients who are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic can be readily implemented to ameliorate the health system burden while maintaining safety and effectiveness of care. Such endeavor requires careful triage and coordination, telemedicine and technology support, workforce and education, as well as robust infrastructure. In the un… Show more

“…He performed 14 repetitions of 1 Minute sit to stand test (1MSTS) which falls below normal range which is 25-37 reps/min for men above 24 years of age [13]. Roth score strongly correlates with severity as determined by hypoxia [14]. His total duration was 8 seconds and highest count was 25 indicating saturation above 95% on 8 th day after admission which it was.…”

“…Hypoxia is another factor responsible for the development of CRS, and it needs to be proactively identified and aggressively treated in COVID-19 patients along the entire care continuum, including both prehospital/ambulatory and early hospitalization stages. [ 6 24 25 ]…”

“…In patients with mild fluctuations/instability in oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ), short-term oxygen therapy can be considered [9]. Using open wards (community centres or home-based settings), devices which can be readily moved for delivering oxygen (portable oxygen concentrators, compressed gas cylinders, portable continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine, pulse oximeters) may prove beneficial [6] especially for patients that show normal compliance amidst hypoxemia (mild and moderate illness) as it ensures that these low priority patients have access to oxygen therapy.…”

“…Clinical information can as such be supplied by the patient or direct caregiver. Parameters that should be prioritized in facilitating the decision-making process for COVID-19 management will include: SpO 2 (< 93%); heart rate (<45 beats/min or >120 beats/min); temperature (<35°C or >38°C); respiratory rate (<12 breaths/min or >20 breaths/min) [9].…”
