Triage Tool and Training Videos: Using Pulse Oximetry for Decision Support for COVID-19

Lifebox has partnered with ALIMA, WHO, and others to develop a decision and triage tool to help clinicians during the COVID-19 pandemic. It uses oxygen saturation measurements from a pulse oximeter to determine when oxygen support is needed. The tool was created as guidance for frontline providers in low-resource settings working with patients with respiratory compromise and suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Please download and share widely. Please send any comments or questions to covid@lifebox.org.
