Measuring O2 level with a #PulseOximeter
It measures the oxygen saturation or % of O2 in patient’s blood
A @WHO training manual says if oxygen saturation is 93% or lower, patient needs to be treated quickly
Saturation < 90% is a clinical emergency

You can measure respiratory rate without any device
Respiratory rate = No. of breaths a person takes per minute
Keep your palm on your chest, measure your respiratory rate for 1 minute
< 24/min, O2 level is safe
> 30/min, O2 level is low

Even as a grim second wave of the coronavirus pandemic grips India and overwhelms its healthcare infrastructure, an inspiring story of recovery has come to the fore from Uttar Pradesh. It’s about 82-year-old Vidya Devi from Alinagar, Gorakhpur. #COVID

Vidya Devi won the battle against the fatal infection in just 12 days with the support of her family and their doctor's advice. Her elder son, Hari Mohan, said that her oxygen level had dipped to 79 one day. "Everyone in the family got worried." #Corona2ndWave #Covid19IndiaHelp
He said they then asked her to sleep in the "prone" position, adding that it helped improve her oxygen level to 94 in four days. "She is now fully healthy and her oxygen level is 97 these days." #proning #Corona2ndWave #IndiaFightsCorona #IndiaFightsBack

Plasma & Remdesivir benefits HAVE NO CONCLUSIVE PROOF ( Tweeted many times on this)
Don't SELF MEDICATE !
STOP RUNNING BEHIND THEM .
Instead, LEARN #Proning .Recommended by doctors also.
NOTE : THIS ACTUALLY WORKS !

It was a privilege to share the (virtual) stage with an amazing panel discussion of differences between PICU and MICU care by #POPCoRNet. Thanks to @DrPhilipVerhoef @DeannaMarie208 @davidshoremd @DoctorVig @MihirAtreya @ArunK_MD @PfarrMarie @annaberry29 for arranging. #FOAMcc 1/3
We covered some important adult and pediatric ICU topics including #Pain/#Anxiety/#Delirium (PAD) treatment, #COVIDairway management, #ARDS #ventilator strategy, #proning, #vasopressors, & how to perform #ACLS while wearing PPE. I've attached some relevant OnePagers. 2/3
Very thankful to the amazing international audience who contributed great comments and discussion. Bottom line: adults are just big kids and there are some great pediatric intensivists out there who are ready care for adults with #COVID thanks to #POPCoRNetwork resources. 3/3
Starting a series on clinical Pearls I am gathering in #COVID19 patients based on experiences of many experts
Will add as we go along
Feel free to add your own observations/experiences

Anosmia is likely the most specific #COVID19 related symptom
30% of patients have anosmia as their 1st symptom

Around 90% of patients have fever.
50% maybe afebrile at the time of presentation
Fever tends to be very resistant to routine measures in hospitalized patients
There is no consensus that NSAIDs are to be avoided in #COVID2019 patients

2/ Let’s begin with a question: how does prone positioning improve oxygenation in patients with severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)?
3/ First, some history. Prone positioning was first proposed in the 1970’s as a method to improve gas exchange in resp. failure and has long been shown to improve Pa/FiO2 in mechanically ventilated patients with severe ARDS.

With the #COVID19 outbreak, it is important to use language responsibly. Here is the first entry of our new #ContagiousWords series, defining the buzzwords and terminology dominating today's conversation. #Pandemic #PandemicsCost
@ilariacapua Language is powerful, so we must be sure and accurate in the ways we communicate science. #Epidemic #ContagiousWords #COVID19
