Okunoonyereza okupya kwazudde nti okupima... omukka gwa oxygen mu musaayi awaka ngeri ya bulabe eri abantu abalina COVID-19 okulaba obubonero obulaga nti obulamu bwabwe buyinza okwonooneka. Ebipima omukka gwa pulse (pulse oximeters) bisangibwa nnyo, bya bbeeyi ntono era nga bitangaaza ekitangaala okuyita mu ngalo y’omuntu okusobola okwekenneenya omukka gwa oxygen mu musaayi gwe. Obujulizi bulaze nti omukka gwa oxygen okugwa mu musaayi kiraga kikulu nnyo nti obulamu bw’omulwadde wa COVID-19 bweyongera okwonooneka era bayinza okwetaaga okulondoola ennyo n’okujjanjabibwa mu bwangu.
Okunoonyereza kuno okwafulumiziddwa mu lupapula lwa Lancet Digital Health, kwekenneenya okunoonyereza 13 okwazingiramu abantu kumpi 3,000 okwetoloola amawanga ataano*, ng’okusinga kwakolebwa mu kiseera kya ssennyiga omukambwe eyasooka.
Bannasayansi baakizudde nti singa abasawo babalambika, ekyuma ekipima omukka mu mutima mu maka kisobola okukola ng’akatimba k’obukuumi, okukendeeza ku kuyingizibwa mu ddwaaliro mu bwangu n’eddwaliro mu ngeri eteetaagisa eri abalwadde abasobola okusigala awaka awatali bulabe, ate nga balaba obubonero obusooka obw’okwonooneka n’okwongera okulabirira mu abo abakyetaaga. Kino kyandiyambye okutaasa eby’obugagga ebigoloddwa, n’okukendeeza ku kusaasaana kw’akawuka okusingawo okuyinza okubaawo okuva mu kukwatagana mu bifo by’ebyobulamu.
Kyokka, abanoonyereza bakiraba nti tewali kunoonyereza ku balwadde ab’olususu oluddugavu, ku bo oximetry eyinza obutaba ntuufu nnyo okusinga mu bazungu.
Okusinziira ku bye bazudde, abanoonyereza bano baleese amagezi amakulu agayinza okuyamba okussa omutindo ku nkozesa ya oximetry mu kulondoola COVID-19 awaka.
Ekikulu, okunoonyereza kuwa amagezi okukozesa ekifo ekitegeerekese ekisala mu omukka gwa oxygen mu musaayi (92%), ekijja okusobozesa abakugu mu by’obulamu okuzuula ddi omulwadde lwe yeetaaga okugenda mu ddwaaliro okufuna obujjanjabi, oba oba basobola okugaana obwetaavu bw’okwongera okulabirira mu kiseera ekyo.
Dr Ahmed Alboksmaty, Research Associate okuva mu Institute of Global Health Innovation, agamba: 'Mu kiseera kyonna ekya ssennyiga omukambwe, okweraliikirira mu bantu kukyuse okuva ku 'Nfunye COVID?' okutuuka ku 'Bwe nnafuna COVID, nneetaaga okugenda mu ddwaaliro?'. Okunoonyereza kwaffe kulaga nti abantu abalina COVID-19 basobola okukuuma eriiso ku muwendo gwa oxygen mu musaayi gwabwe awaka nga bakozesa pulse oximetry. Singa omukka gwabwe ogwa oxygen gukka wansi w’ekifo ekimu, olwo kino kiraga nti beetaaga okunoonya obujjanjabi obw’ekikugu.
'Pulse oximetry nnyangu okwekozesa, ya ssente ntono, esangibwa mu bantu bangi, era nga bwe tulaze, ngeri ya mugaso ey'okuzuula eby'obulamu ebyonooneddwa mu balwadde ba COVID-19.'
Essimu ezimu ez’omu ngalo ne pulogulaamu z’oku ssimu nazo zirina obusobozi okupima omukka gwa oxygen mu musaayi, abanoonyereza kye bazudde ng’ekintu ekiyinza okufunibwa abantu bangi mu kulondoola. Wabula wadde ng’okunoonyereza okumu kulaga obutuufu obufaananako n’obw’ekinnansi obupima pulse oximeters, abanoonyereza baamaliriza nti tewali bujulizi bumala n’okutuusa kati okuteesa ku kuzikozesa mu kulondoola obujjanjabi.
Okunoonyereza kuno era kwazudde ebituli ebirala mu bujulizi obuliwo kati, naddala data ezitamala okuzuula oba pulse oximetry esobola okulongoosa endowooza y’ebyobulamu eri abalwadde.
Dr Ana Luisa Neves, Advanced Research Fellow okuva mu Institute of Global Health Innovation, agamba nti: 'Okunoonyereza kwaffe kulaze engeri okukozesa pulse oximetry mu kulondoola abalwadde okuva ewala gye kiyinza okuyamba okukendeeza ku buzibu obuli ku nkola z'ebyobulamu mu kiseera kino ekya COVID-19. Wabula, kikulu nnyo okulaba ng'obutaba na kunoonyereza mu kiseera kino mu bantu ab'amawanga n'amawanga ag'enjawulo kukolebwako. N'olwekyo kikulu nnyo okuwa obuwagizi okukakasa.' tekinologiya ono akendeeza, mu kifo ky’okusimba emirandira, obutafaanagana mu by’obulamu obuliwo.
