Ucwaningo olusha luthole lokho kulinganisa amazinga komoyampilo wegazi ekhaya ayindlela ephephile yokuthi abantu abane-COVID-19 babone izimpawu zokuthi impilo yabo ingase ibe yiwohloka.Ama-Pulse oximeter atholakala kabanzi, amathuluzi abiza kancane akhanyisa ngomunwe womuntu ukuhlola ukugcwala kwawo komoyampilo egazini.Ubufakazi bubonise ukuthi ukwehla kwamazinga komoyampilo wegazi kuyinkomba ebalulekile yokuthi impilo yesiguli se-COVID-19 iyawohloka futhi singase sidinge ukuqashwa okuseduze nokwelashwa okuphuthumayo.
Ucwaningo, olushicilelwe ku-Lancet Digital Health, luhlole izifundo eziyi-13 ezibandakanya ababambiqhaza abacishe babe ngu-3,000 emazweni amahlanu*, iningi lazo olwenziwa ngesikhathi segagasi lokuqala lobhubhane.
Ososayensi bathole ukuthi ngokuqondisa kwezokwelapha, i-home pulse oximetry ingasebenza njengenetha lokuphepha, inciphise ukungeniswa okungadingekile kwezimo eziphuthumayo kanye nesibhedlela ezigulini ezingahlala ekhaya ngokuphepha, kuyilapho zibona izimpawu zokuqala zokuwohloka nokunakekelwa okwandayo kulabo abakudingayo.Lokhu kuzosiza ukonga izinsiza ezinwetshiwe, futhi kunciphise ukusakazeka okungenzeka kwegciwane ekuthinteni ezilungiselelweni zezempilo.
Kodwa-ke, abacwaningi baphawula ukuntuleka kocwaningo ngeziguli ezinesikhumba esimnyama, okungenzeka ukuthi i-oximetry inganembeli kangako kunakwabamhlophe.
Ngokusekelwe ekutholeni kwabo, abacwaningi babeke phambili isethi yezincomo ezibalulekile ezingasiza ukumisa ukusetshenziswa kwe-oximetry ekuqaphelweni kwe-COVID-19 ekhaya.
Okubalulekile, ucwaningo luncoma ukusetshenziswa kwendawo enqunyiwe echaziwe amazinga komoyampilo wegazi (92%), okuzokwenza ochwepheshe bezokunakekelwa kwempilo bakwazi ukunquma ukuthi isiguli sidinga nini ukuya esibhedlela ukuze sithole ukwelashwa, noma ukuthi bangasikhipha yini isidingo sokunakekelwa okwengeziwe ngaleso sikhathi.
UDkt Ahmed Alboksmaty, i-Research Associate ephuma ku-Institute of Global Health Innovation, uthe: 'Kuso sonke lesi sifo esiwubhubhane, ukukhathazeka emphakathini kushintshile ekubeni 'Ngabe ngine-COVID?'ku-'Uma ngine-COVID, ingabe ngidinga ukuya esibhedlela?' iphuzu, khona-ke lokhu kubonisa ukuthi badinga ukufuna usizo lwezokwelapha oluchwepheshile.
'I-Pulse oximetry isebenziseka kalula, iyathengeka ngezindleko, itholakala kabanzi, futhi njengoba sibonisile, indlela ewusizo yokuhlonza ukuwohloka kwezempilo ezigulini ze-COVID-19.'
Amanye ama-smartphones nezinhlelo zokusebenza zeselula nazo zinamandla okulinganisa amazinga komoyampilo wegazi, abacwaningi abawahlonze njengethuluzi lokuqapha elifinyeleleka kabanzi.Kodwa-ke, ngenkathi ezinye izifundo zibike ukunemba okufanayo kuma-oximeters endabuko e-pulse, abacwaningi baphethe ngokuthi abukho ubufakazi obanele okwamanje bokuncoma ukusetshenziswa kwabo ekuqashweni komtholampilo.
Ucwaningo luphinde lwahlonza ezinye izikhala ebufakazini bamanje, ikakhulukazi idatha enganele yokunquma ukuthi i-pulse oximetry ingathuthukisa umbono wezempilo ezigulini.
UDkt Ana Luisa Neves, I-Advanced Research Fellow evela ku-Institute of Global Health Innovation, uthe: 'Ucwaningo lwethu lukhombisile ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwe-pulse oximetry ekuqaphelweni kweziguli okukude kungasiza kanjani ekudambiseni ubunzima ezinhlelweni zezempilo ngesikhathi sodlame lwe-COVID-19. , kubalulekile ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ukushoda kwamanje kocwaningo kubantu abahlukahlukene ngokobuhlanga nangokobuzwe kuyaxazululwa ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukunikeza ukwesekwa ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi lobu buchwepheshe bunciphisa, kunokuba bugxilise, ukungalingani kwezempilo okukhona.
