COVID-19: general template for hypoxemic, non-intubated patients
daily examination: focus on Physical exam probably doesn't add much for most patients who are mentating normally and able to report symptoms accurately. Do not use a stethescope (this is a fomite that poses risk of disease transmission). Cardiac and lung ultrasonography may be performed as indicated for changes in clinical status. Lung ultrasonography ( not ascultation) is the preferred modality for evaluating pulmonary status.
