Kusukela ekuqaleni kwalolu bhubhane, ukuthengiswa kwama-pulse oximeters bekulokhu kukhuphuka ngoba amazinga aphansi komoyampilo wegazi angenye yezimpawu eziphambili ze-COVID-19.Kodwa-ke, kubantu abanesikhumba esimnyama, amathuluzi angahlaseli abonakala enembe kancane.
I-US Food and Drug Administration ikhiphe isexwayiso ngesonto eledlule mayelana nendlela ibala lesikhumba somuntu elikuthinta ngayo ukunemba kwaso.Ngokwesexwayiso, izici ezihlukahlukene ezinjengokushintsha umbala kwesikhumba, ukungahambi kahle kwegazi, ukujiya kwesikhumba, izinga lokushisa lesikhumba, ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi nokucwecwa kwezinzipho kungathinta ukunemba kokufundwa kwe-pulse oximeter.
I-FDA iphinde yaveza ukuthi ukufundwa kwe-pulse oximeter kufanele kusetshenziswe kuphela njengesilinganiso sokugcwala komoyampilo egazini.Ukuxilongwa kanye nezinqumo zokwelashwa kufanele zisekelwe kumkhuba wokufundwa kwe-pulse oximeter ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kunokuba i-threshold ephelele.
Imihlahlandlela ebuyekeziwe isekelwe ocwaningweni olunesihloko esithi “Racial Bias in Pulse Oximetry” olushicilelwe kuyi-New England Journal of Medicine.
Lolu cwaningo lwalubandakanya iziguli ezilaliswayo ezingabantu abadala ezithola ukwelashwa okungeziwe komoyampilo e-University of Michigan Hospital (kusukela ngoJanuwari 2020 kuya kuJulayi 2020) kanye neziguli ezithola izikhungo zokunakekelwa okuphuthumayo ezibhedlela eziyi-178 (2014 kuya ku-2015).
Ithimba locwaningo belifuna ukuhlola ukuthi ukufundwa kwe-pulse oximeter kuphambukile yini ezinombolweni ezinikezwe ukuhlolwa kwegesi yegazi le-arterial.Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ezigulini ezinesikhumba esimnyama, izinga lokungaxilongwa kahle kwemishini engahlaseli lifinyelele ku-11.7%, kuyilapho lelo leziguli ezinesikhumba esimhlophe lalingu-3.6 kuphela%.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, uDkt. William Maisel, umqondisi we-Center for Equipment and Radiological Health ye-Office of Product Evaluation and Quality of the FDA, wathi: Nakuba ama-pulse oximeter engase asize ukulinganisa amazinga komoya-mpilo egazini, ukulinganiselwa kwala mathuluzi kungase kubangele. ukufundwa okungalungile.
Ngokusho kwe-CNN, iCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) nayo ibuyekeze imihlahlandlela yayo mayelana nokusetshenziswa kwama-pulse oximeters.Imininingwane ehlinzekwe yiCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) iphinde yakhombisa ukuthi aboMdabu baseMelika, abaseLatinos kanye nabaseMelika abamnyama kungenzeka balaliswe esibhedlela ngenxa yezinkinga ezidalwe inoveli coronavirus (2019-nCoV).
