Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria: 1. Records of pulse oximetry values observed during clinical rounds of patients with COVID19 in sitting and supine position from clinical chart -minimum 3 readings will be included.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria: 1. non availability of pulse oximetry in sitting and supine positions -orthodeoxia is an uncommon syndrome identified by deoxygenation in sitting or standing position from supine position On clinical rounds in COVID-19 patients ward it was observed that a number of patients complained of breathlessness on changing the position from supine to sitting position their oxygen saturation was lower in sitting position as compared to supine position. Pulse oximetry is considered as a fifth vital sign for decision making before starting oxygen therapy As a standard of care oxygen saturation is monitored using pulse oximeter in admitted patients during clinical rounds. As a number of patients had complained of breathlessness on sitting up in bed or walking towards bathroom ( <100m distance). Oxygen saturation is checked in sitting and supine position for all patients as standard of care. Protocol Version 1.0 Department of Pulmonary Medicine
