Abstract：
Patients with severe COVID-19 disease require monitoring with pulse oximetry as a minimal requirement. In many low- and middle- income countries, this has been challenging due to lack of staff and equipment. Wearable pulse oximeters potentially offer an attractive means to address this need, due to their low cost, battery operability and capacity for remote monitoring. Between July and October 2021, Ho Chi Minh City experienced its first major wave of SARS-CoV-2 infection, leading to an unprecedented demand for monitoring in hospitalized patients. We assess the feasibility of a continuous remote monitoring system for patients with COVID-19 under these circumstances as we implemented 2 different systems using wearable pulse oximeter devices in a stepwise manner across 4 departments.
摘要：
患有严重COVID-19疾病的患者需要脉搏血氧饱和度监测作为最低要求。在许多低收入和中等收入国家，由于缺乏人员和设备，这一直具有挑战性。可穿戴式脉搏血氧计可能提供一种有吸引力的手段来满足这种需求，由于成本低,电池的可操作性和远程监控能力。2021年7月至10月间，胡志明市经历了第一波SARS-CoV-2感染，导致住院患者对监测的需求前所未有。在这种情况下，我们评估了COVID-19患者连续远程监测系统的可行性，因为我们在4个部门中逐步使用可穿戴式脉搏血氧计设备实施了2种不同的系统。
