WITH Covid-19 cases in Malaysia reaching new heights and many patients, especially those in categories 1 and 2 being required to self-isolate at home, the Sunway Healthcare Group has developed a comprehensive guidebook for the public to safely manage their condition during home isolation.
The “Home Care Guidebook for Mild Covid-19” is a self-help guide that aims to provide patients and caregivers with important tips on home isolation must-dos, warning signs, when to seek emergency help, and tips to improve breathing.
“Many times, patients, especially those in high-risk groups, may see disease progression.
And those who have mild symptoms may end up with happy hypoxia, a phenomenon that happens all too often. This happens when a person’s blood oxygen levels drop below 94 per cent and oftentimes, the person is unaware until it’s too late,” says Sunway Medical Centre consultant emergency physician, Dr Nur Elayni Borhan.
The guidebook also provides valuable tips on improving one’s lung capacity and restoring diaphragm function for patients who are currently battling Covid-19, or in the process of recovering.
