dc.description.abstractAim: In the Covid-19 pandemic, it is seen that patients remain hypoxic in the long term and their SpO2 values decrease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the SpO2 levels in cases transported to the hospital by 112 ambulance and to investigate the correlation of the data results with respiratory system diseases and COPD patients, which is the group most frequently transported to the hospital. Material and Methods: We examined the SpO2 values of patients who were transported by 112 emergency ambulance with shortness of breath during the long period of the pandemic. We examined 270,753 patients who were transported between March-September 2020, 2021, 2022. The patients were divided into two groups according to the degree of saturation: saturation between 86-90% and below 85%. Results: We statistically analyzed the saturation levels of the patients by year and month. There was no statistically significant relationship in terms of the number of transported cases by years and months in patients with a saturation below 85% (p=0.908). There was a significant correlation between years and months in patients with 86-90% saturation (p=0.029). There was a statistically significant relationship between the saturation levels of the cases carried by years (p=0.017). In 2021-2022, the percentage of patients with both saturation below 85% and between 86-90% increased compared to 2020 (p=0.003; p=0.015). Discussion: According to the results of the study, the low oxygen levels of the patients who were transported to the hospital with shortness of breath increased in the 1st and 2nd years compared to the beginning of the pandemic.en_US
