cord-298325-2gm4fnqi	Shah, Sonia	Novel use of home pulse oximetry monitoring in COVID‐19 patients discharged from the emergency department identifies need for hospitalization	2020-06-17		.txt	text/plain	4001	245	52	title: Novel use of home pulse oximetry monitoring in COVID‐19 patients discharged from the emergency department identifies need for hospitalization OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to evaluate patient‐reported oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) using pulse oximetry as a home monitoring tool for patients with initially non‐severe COVID‐19 to identify need for hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS: This study found that home pulse oximetry monitoring identifies need for hospitalization in initially non‐severe COVID‐19 patients when a cut off of SpO(2) 92% is used. Our objective was to evaluate patient-reported oxygen saturation using pulse oximetry as a home monitoring tool for patients with initially non-severe COVID-19 to identify need for hospitalization. Our results found that pulse oximetry as a home monitoring tool identifies need for hospitalization in initially non-severe COVID-19 patients when a cut off of SpO 2 92% is used. This study found that home pulse oximetry monitoring identifies need for hospitalization in initially non-severe COVID-19 patients when resting home oxygen saturation drops below 92%.	./cache/cord-298325-2gm4fnqi.txt	./txt/cord-298325-2gm4fnqi.txt
