Uphando olutsha lwafumanisa ukuba ukulinganisa Amanqanaba eoksijini yegazi ekhaya yindlela ekhuselekileyo yokuba abantu abane-COVID-19 babone iimpawu zokuba impilo yabo inokuba mandundu. I-Pulse oximeters ifumaneka ngokubanzi, izixhobo ezinexabiso eliphantsi ezikhanyisa ukukhanya ngomnwe womntu ukuvavanya ukugcwala kweoksijini egazini. Ubungqina bubonise ukuba ukuhla kumanqanaba e-oksijini yegazi luphawu olubalulekileyo lokuba impilo yesigulana se-COVID-19 iya isiba maxongo kwaye banokufuna ukubekwa esweni okukufutshane kunye nonyango olungxamisekileyo.
Uphando, olupapashwe kwiLancet Digital Health, luvavanye izifundo ezili-13 ezibandakanya phantse abathathi-nxaxheba abangama-3,000 kumazwe amahlanu, uninzi lwazo lwenziwa ngexesha lobhubhani wokuqala.
Izazinzulu zifumanise ukuba ngesikhokelo sezonyango, i-pulse oximetry yasekhaya inokusebenza njengenetha yokhuseleko, inciphisa ungxamiseko olungeyomfuneko kunye nokwamkelwa esibhedlele kwizigulana ezinokuthi zihlale ekhaya ngokukhuselekileyo, ngelixa zibona iimpawu zokuqala zokuwohloka kunye nokhathalelo olukhulayo kwabo balufunayo. Oku kuya kunceda ukugcina izibonelelo ezoluliweyo, kunye nokunciphisa ukusasazeka okunokwenzeka kwentsholongwane ekudibaneni kwiindawo zempilo.
Nangona kunjalo, abaphandi baqaphela ukungabikho kophando kwizigulane ezinolusu olumnyama, apho i-oximetry inokuthi ichaneke kancinci kunabantu abamhlophe.
Ngokusekwe kwiziphumo zabo, abaphandi babeke phambili iseti yeengcebiso eziphambili ezinokunceda ukubeka umgangatho wokusetyenziswa kwe-oximetry kuhlolo lwe-COVID-19 ekhaya.
Okubalulekileyo, uphononongo lucebisa ukusetyenziswa kwendawo echaziweyo yokunqunyulwa kuyo amanqanaba e-oksijini yegazi (92%), okuya kwenza ukuba abaqeqeshi bezempilo babone xa isigulane sidinga ukuya esibhedlele ukuze sifumane unyango, okanye ukuba sinokukhupha imfuno yokunyamekela ngakumbi ngelo xesha.
UGqr Ahmed Alboksmaty, uMdibaniso woPhando ovela kwiZiko leGlobal Health Innovation, uthe: 'Kulo lonke ubhubhane, inkxalabo phakathi koluntu iye yasuka ekubeni 'Ndinayo i-COVID?' ukuba 'Ukuba ndine-COVID, ngaba kufuneka ndiye esibhedlele?'. Uphononongo lwethu lubonisa ukuba abantu abane-COVID-19 banokugcina iliso ngokukhuselekileyo kumanqanaba eoksijini yegazi ekhaya besebenzisa i-pulse oximetry. Ukuba amanqanaba abo oksijini awela ngaphantsi kwinqanaba elithile, ngoko oku kubonisa ukuba kufuneka bafune unyango lwezonyango.
'I-Pulse oximetry kulula ukuzisebenzisa, iyafikeleleka kwiindleko, ifumaneka ngokubanzi, kwaye njengoko sibonisile, indlela eluncedo yokuchonga ukuwohloka kwempilo kwizigulana ze-COVID-19.'
Ezinye ii-smartphones kunye nee-apps eziphathwayo ziyakwazi ukulinganisa amanqanaba e-oksijini yegazi, apho abaphandi bachonga njengesixhobo sokubeka iliso esinokufikeleleka ngokubanzi. Nangona kunjalo, ngelixa ezinye izifundo zichaze ukuchaneka okufanayo kwi-oximeter ye-pulse yendabuko, abaphandi bagqibe kwelokuba akukho bungqina baneleyo bokucebisa ukusetyenziswa kwabo kuhlolo lweklinikhi.
Uphononongo luphinde lwachonga izikhewu ezongezelelweyo kubungqina obukhoyo, ngokukodwa idatha enganeleyo yokufumanisa ukuba i-pulse oximetry inokuphucula imbonakalo yempilo yezigulane.
UGqr Ana Luisa Neves, uPhando oluPhakamileyo ovela kwiZiko leGlobal Health Innovation, uthe: 'Uphando lwethu lubonisile ukuba ukusetyenziswa kwe-pulse oximetry ekubekweni esweni kwesigulana okude kunokunceda ukunciphisa ubunzima kwiinkqubo zempilo ngexesha lobhubhani we-COVID-19. Nangona kunjalo, kubalulekile ukuqinisekisa ukuba ukungabikho kophando ngoku ngokobuhlanga nangobuhlanga kunokunciphisa itekhnoloji eyohlukeneyo kunokubonelela ngenkxaso. iziseko, ukungalingani kwezempilo okukhoyo.
