As the entire nation is struggling due to the shortage of oxygen and other medical supplies in the second wave of covid 19, the health ministry has decided to improve patient’s health conditions in India. The government of India has released two primary documents on allowing for telemedicine consultation for the covid patients.
One of the manuals includes updated recommendations for COVID-19 cases that are mild and asymptomatic at home and medications and treatments that doctors should prescribe to the patients. To ensure patient’s health journey in good hands, Credihealth also offers a covid homecare package for covid 19 Patients to get home consultation for covid 19 at their own home. Patients can book the package on Credihealth online health portal if they have the following conditions –
- Patients who want to avoid going to a hospital for Covid treatment
- Patients who want to keep track of their well-being on a daily basis
- Patients with an SPO2 of over 94
- Patients who have been diagnosed with COVID are now able to recover at home (Mild & Asymptomatic)
Patients who are isolated at home need to follow a proper healthy diet with necessary precautions. These precautions will help them to lessen the side effects of the disease. Credihealth’s home care package provides telemedicine consultation for covid 19 patients, in which an experienced health professional offers online covid consultation and teleconsultation to the patient. If required, the doctor also provides an e-prescription for the medication. A patient can discuss their health outcomes by monitoring their health at home with the help of oximeter or other equipment. The doctor also provides dietary and nutrition advice to improve the patient’s overall health during the time.
Guidelines that must be followed by Covid Patients – Home isolation, on the other hand, ensures that a positive patient who is slightly symptomatic or asymptomatic would be held at home with strict supervision and a pulse oximeter, potentially lowering the risk of death. A patient must follow all the following norms while isolating at home –
- The Covid patient must isolate himself from other family members, remain in the designated space, and avoid contact with other people in the house, especially the elderly and those with co-morbid conditions such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, renal disease, and so on.
- The patient should be kept in a well-ventilated space with cross ventilation, and windows kept open to let fresh air in, and a triple-layer medical mask should be worn at all times. If masks become damp or soiled, discard them after 6-8 hours of use or sooner.
- If the caregiver enters the room, both the caregiver and the patient should wear N 95 masks and discarded them after being disinfected with 1 percent Sodium Hypochlorite.
- To maintain proper hydration, the patient must rest and drink plenty of fluids.
- Wash hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water or clean with an alcohol-based sanitizer regularly.
- Do not exchange personal things without washing and sanitizing them with other family members.
- Use a 1 percent hypochlorite solution to disinfect surfaces in the often touched room (tabletops, doorknobs, handles, etc.).
- Using a pulse oximeter to self-monitor blood oxygen saturation is highly recommended. A patient can consult his/her health or any other symptoms with the doctor during the Online covid consultation.
- The patient must self-monitor his or her health by taking regular temperature readings and reporting any deterioration of symptoms as soon as possible.
