There is no oximeter in the room, sudden shortness of breath – what to do? – Fulcrumy Health Tip

We know that epidemics have been rampant around the world for more than a year now. Incidentally, the biggest complication of a coronavirus patient is a decrease in oxygen saturation. There is no substitute for being aware of such situations. It is best to do oxygen monitoring at home. With the help of pulse oximeter it is possible to know the level of oxygen in the body instantly.

If the amount of oxygen in the patient’s body falls below 93 while the patient is lying down and sitting, oxygen should be given. The patient will walk for 10 minutes to see if the oxygen is depleted, and the condition of the oxygen saturation can be easily understood by monitoring the oxygen while walking. Oxygen up to 7 can be taken as normal while walking. If it goes down, the patient must be given oxygen.

However, in recent times, many homes do not have a pulse oximeter. They can monitor oxygen in a special way. For this you have to hold your breath and multiply up to twenty-thirty by one… two… three… four. If you can’t hold your breath and count more than 9, then you have to assume that there is a lack of oxygen. This level only applies to the patient. In that case, the patient should be rushed to the hospital for oxygen. Because taking oxygen at home is not safe at all. Reason:

An experienced physician will determine the amount of oxygen to be given to a patient. Accidental ingestion of oxygen can damage the lungs. It should be kept in mind and always keep in mind that oxygen cylinder explosion can happen in the house.

If the patient has to be treated at home, then the treatment must be done by telephone or video call under the doctor.

Note that the technique of increasing the level of oxygen in the sleeping method. Those who are infected with the corona virus will get better results if they follow the following sleeping techniques. In case of sudden onset of shortness of breath or depletion of oxygen, lie down for 30 minutes to 2 hours in a low lying position. Then the oxygen in the lungs will increase and the shortness of breath will gradually decrease.
