By snapping a device onto a finger and then sending two wavelengths of light into the skin, the oximeter measures how much of the light is absorbed and estimates how much oxygen is flowing through the blood. Oximeters were a critical part of emergency care for patients with COVID-19 during the pandemic.
The COVID-19 vaccines are widely credited for their role in reducing the severity and death caused by COVID-19. [ 128 ] [ 129 ] As of March 2023, more than 5.5 billion people had received one or more doses [ 130 ] (11.8 billion in total) in over 197 countries.
The authors came to the conclusion that no further trials of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for treatment of COVID-19 should be carried out. [58] On 26 April 2021, in its amended clinical management protocol for COVID-19, the Indian Ministry of Health lists hydroxychloroquine for use in patients during the early course of the disease.

Oxygen therapy at home is recommended in those with significantly low oxygen levels. [20] Oxygen therapy in ILD is associated with improvements in quality of life but reductions in mortality are uncertain. [8] Long-term oxygen therapy can be beneficial to people with ILD and hypoxemia to enhance gas exchange, lessen dyspnea, and increase ...
