Acute GP Covid protocol
The following is a work in progress, please discuss with Christina/Chris/Sham if any queries
CAEP suggested ED discharge criteria (based on Level C evidence)
1. Has access to food, water, communications, safe accommodation
2. Is at baseline level of function
3. O2 saturation >94% on RA
4. RR<20, HR<110, BP at baseline or expected for age/sex
5. Does not appear clinically decompensated (ie clinically well)
6. Walk test: can walk 30 metres with <5% drop in O2 saturation (even if CXR or POCUS +ive)
Consider discharge advice for patient to perform walk test at home (ideally with O2 sat probe) and return to ED if O2sat<95%
