Last
week's Basement:

- Movie
made by several of our members regarding the importance of
pulse oximetry in COVID patients. Dr. Richard
Levitan, who first coined the term "silent hypoxia", explains
why using a simple, inexpensive pulse oximeter to monitor
blood oxygen saturation can spot the onset of serious
COVID-related lung damage even before the patient feels any
symptoms. Arrival at the hospital when the damage has just
begun simplifies treatment, reduces treatment time and
prevents unnecessary deaths. The story of Adi Rosenfeld Lalou
demonstrates how important this can be. See the documentary
here [Please note that the bulletin does not give medical
advice, which should be obtained from your own medical
practitioner].
