[quote=Anonymous]I'm a nurse who has worked with Covid patients for almost a year now. A couple of things to do if you get an off reading (which can be common in the elderly)... Other fingers/other hand Take off nail polish (especially if a thick gel/dip) Warm hands up Use toe or ear If you've done all these then 92 or less means hospital time. Silent hypoxia is real and common with Covid. I've lost count of the patients I've had who are reading 75% and having a full blown conversation with me. They don't feel short of breath or are having difficulty breathing. It's part of what has made Covid so scary. It doesn't always present like a typical acute respiratory issue. The key to treating a bad case of Covid is getting treated at the beginning of it getting much worse. [/quote]
