	Fontes e distribuição de oxigênio para os centros de tratamento da COVID-19 Pan American Health Organization PAHO, World Health Organization WHO (2020) C_WHO View PDF(6) Download (8) Add to my MEDBOX COVID-19 e oxigênio: Os dados da China sugerem que embora a maioria das pessoas com COVID-19 tenham doença leve (40%) ou moderada (40%), cerca de 15% apresentam doença grave que requer oxigenoterapia, e 5% ficam em estado crítico e precisam de tratamento em uma unidade de terapia intensiva. Além disso, a maioria dos pacientes críticos com COVID-19 precisará de ventilação mecânica.2,3 Por esses motivos, as unidades de saúde que tratam da COVID-19 devem estar equipadas com oxímetros de pulso, sistemas de oxigênio em funcionamento, incluindo interfaces de administração de oxigênio de uso único. A oxigenoterapia é recomendada para todos os pacientes graves e críticos com COVID-19, em doses baixas, variando de 1-2 L/min em crianças e começando com 5 L/min em adultos com cânula nasal, fluxos moderados para o uso em máscara de Venturi (6-10 L/min); ou fluxos mais altos (10-15 L/min) com o uso de uma máscara com bolsa reservatório. Além disso, o oxigênio pode ser administrado em fluxos mais altos e em concentrações maiores, usando uma cânula nasal de alto fluxo (CNAF Tags: COVID-19, Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, Source: https://iris.paho.org/bitstream/handle/1
