Ukusukela oko kwaqala ubhubhane, ukuthengiswa kwee-pulse oximeters kunyukile kuba amanqanaba asezantsi eoksijini yegazi yenye yeempawu eziphambili ze-COVID-19.Nangona kunjalo, kubantu abanolusu olumnyama, izixhobo ezingasebenzisiyo zibonakala zingachanekanga kangako.
I-US Food and Drug Administration ikhuphe isilumkiso kwiveki ephelileyo ngendlela ibala lolusu lomntu olukuchaphazela ngayo ukuchaneka kwalo.Ngokwesilumkiso, izinto ezahlukeneyo ezinje ngombala wolusu, ukungahambi kakuhle kwegazi, ukutyeba kolusu, ubushushu bolusu, ukusetyenziswa kwecuba kunye nepolisi yezikhonkwane kunokuchaphazela ukuchaneka kokufundwa kwe-pulse oximeter.
I-FDA iphinde yachaza ukuba ukufundwa kwe-pulse oximeter kufuneka kusetyenziswe kuphela njengoqikelelo lwe-oxygen saturation yegazi.Ukuxilongwa kunye nezigqibo zonyango kufuneka zisekelwe kwi-trend of pulse oximeter readings ngokuhamba kwexesha, kunokuba i-thresholds epheleleyo.
Izikhokelo ezihlaziyiweyo zisekelwe kwisifundo esinesihloko esithi "Racial Bias in Pulse Oximetry" epapashwe kwiNew England Journal of Medicine.
Uphononongo lubandakanya izigulane zabantu abadala ezifumana unyango olongezelelweyo lwe-oksijeni kwiSibhedlele saseYunivesithi yaseMichigan (ukususela ngoJanuwari 2020 ukuya kuJulayi 2020) kunye nezigulane ezifumana iiyunithi zokunyamekela kakhulu kwizibhedlele ze-178 (2014 ukuya kwi-2015).
Iqela lophando lalifuna ukuvavanya ukuba i-pulse oximeter readings itenxile kumanani abonelelwa luvavanyo lwegesi yegazi.Okubangel 'umdla kukuba, kwizigulane ezinolusu olumnyama, izinga lokuxilongwa ngokungafanelekanga kwezixhobo ezingahlaseli lifikelele kwi-11.7%, ngelixa izigulane ezinolusu olulungileyo zaziyi-3.6 kuphela.
Ngelo xesha, uGqr William Maisel, umlawuli weZiko leZixhobo kunye neRadiological Health yeOfisi yoVavanyo lweMveliso kunye noMgangatho we-FDA, wathi: Nangona i-pulse oximeters inokunceda ukuqikelela amanqanaba e-oksijini yegazi, ukulinganiselwa kwezi zixhobo kunokubangela ufundo olungachanekanga.
Ngokutsho kwe-CNN, amaZiko oLawulo lweSifo kunye noThintelo (CDC) iye yahlaziya izikhokelo zayo malunga nokusetyenziswa kwe-pulse oximeters.Idatha ebonelelwe ngamaZiko oLawulo lweSifo kunye noThintelo (CDC) ikwabonise ukuba abantu bomthonyama baseMelika, iLatinos kunye nabantu abamnyama baseMelika kunokwenzeka ukuba balaliswe esibhedlele ngenxa yeengxaki ezibangelwa yinoveli coronavirus (2019-nCoV).
