When spo2 is increases
My father done hrct on 26 april and its 12 and now after taking medicines hes feeling good and recovering in prone position when doing exersise spo2 is 97 or in normal position its 93 or 94 so i want to know when the spo2 is increases and how many more days to eat the medicines
Proning can increase SpO2 by opening up new air sacs in lung. Oxygen supplementation can increase SpO2.
Otherwise SpO2 reading by pulse oxymetry may fluctuate due to various technical issues like cold fingertip, reading variability.
Regarding medicines, duration of treatment is usually 5 to 15 days depending on which medicine you are taking.
Strictly follow your doctor's advice.
