Background: Pneumonia heavily contributes to global under-five mortality. Many countries use community case management detect and treat childhood pneumonia. Community health workers (CHWs) have limited tools help them assess signs of New respiratory rate (RR) counting devices pulse oximeters are being considered for this purpose.Objective: To explore perspectives CHWs national stakeholders regarding the potential usability scalability seven aid assessment pneumonia signs.Design: Pile sorting...
Low blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), or hypoxaemia, is an indicator of severe illness in children. Pulse oximetry a globally accepted, non-invasive method to identify but rarely available outside higher-level facilities resource-constrained countries. This study aims evaluate the performance different types pulse oximeters amongst frontline health workers Cambodia, Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Uganda.Five (POx) which passed laboratory testing, out initial 32 potential oximeters, were evaluated...
Pneumonia is one of the leading causes death in children aged under 5 years both sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. The current diagnostic criterion for pneumonia based on increased respiratory rate (RR) with cough or difficulty breathing. Low oxygen saturation, measured using pulse oximeters, indicative severe pneumonia. Health workers often find it difficult to accurately count number breaths, RR counting devices are use unavailable. Nonetheless, improved low-cost oximeters now...

Background: Pneumonia is one of the leading causes death in children under-five globally. The current diagnostic criteria for pneumonia are based on increased respiratory rate (RR) or chest in-drawing with cough and/or difficulty breathing. Counting RR difficult community health workers (CHWs). Current counting devices frequently inadequate unavailable. This study analysed performance improved timers detection symptoms low-resource settings. Methods: Four were evaluated 454 over three months...
