Intrapulmonary shunt measured by bedside pulse oximetry predicts worse outcomes in severe COVID-19

Using simple bedside pulse oximetry to create oxygen–haemoglobin desaturation curves may be useful in triaging patients with COVID-19. Intrapulmonary shunting is associated with worse outcomes in COVID-19, and the degree of shunt may predict outcomes. https://bit.ly/2KVv0m2
