Case Study
The decline in a patients health and oxygen saturation is seen in the data below. Note the period
of decreased oxygen saturation from the
Green (healthy) zone to Amber (caution) whilst the
volunteer is experiencing an exacerbation and a mild chest infection. It soon recovers to a
health reading in the
Green zone.
By watching the overall trending of health parameters this volunteer was able to overcome the
chest infection and improve their pulse oximeter reading through self-care over a reasonably
short period of time and without admission to hospital.
Awareness of declining health allows for rapid adjustment in health behaviours and taking
prescribed rescue pack antibiotics according to their self-care plan made in conjunction with
their medical team.
