Mar 26, 2021

 

Throughout the COVID pandemic we have all found ourselves worrying about our own health as well as  the health of our nearest and dearest. The moment we have started to feel unwell fear kicks in and we think the worst. The pressure that this has put on our nations health professionals has been intense, at levels not seen in modern times in most countries.


As individuals we know there are tools out there that people talk about that could help us help ourselves with medically relevant information that makes a real difference to our doctors and nurses aiming to help us.


The current pandemic has shown that a decrease in blood oxygen saturation levels can be an indicator of the early onset of Covid-19. This reduction of oxygen in the blood can be tested using medical grade Oximeters. Oximeters come in a number of forms, from in hospital hard wired devices to simple to use self testing products that can be slipped over a finger.

The AVO+ Pulse Oximeter is a medically approved (CE and FDA) product available to purchase. It features a clear screen that can be rotated by the press of a button for easier reading of results. With an audible pulse option it is ideal for all ages. A convenient neck lanyard makes this perfect for use outside the home when doing sports or going to the gym.

By Anna Gallagher • 07 Jun, 2021
Now that the Covid vaccine is being rolled out for adults across the world, there has also been talk of the possibility of a mandatory vaccine for children. This is due to growing concern about the outbreaks of Covid-19 in babies and children, particularly in Brazil. According to a recent article in NBC News , over two thousand deaths have been reported in children in Brazil. It’s also becoming apparent that children may not be at zero-risk of Covid-19, which has been a common misconception.

By Anna Gallagher • 17 May, 2021
During the pandemic, certain safety measures have been put in place all over the world to prevent the spread of Covid-19. These have included social distancing and the encouragement of face coverings and other forms of PPE. Recently Scientists have warned that the current protocols may need updating, however. According to a report by The Lancet , Covid has been shown to be predominantly airborne. This means it’s possible for it to be spread via airborne transmission, and we need to take extra precautions to avoid this.Airborne transmissions occur when an individual inhales aerosols produced when an infected person exhales, speaks, sneezes or coughs. According to The Lancet report, there are particles of the coronavirus disease in the air, or aerosols. These have been given different names throughout the pandemic such as droplets or droplet nuclei, but they are all essentially aerosols that can be inhaled, regardless of size or distance. These can even enter ventilation filters and air ducts.
