Résumé
We aimed to determine the impact of a dedicated medical team (DMT) on ambulatory care for patients requiring oxygen. The DMT selected patients requiring oxygen for less than 5 l/min in the emergency department (ED). The rate of ED readmission was compared in patients managed by the DMT and those managed by the ED physicians (EDPs). Consensual treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia with oxygen requirement was steroids + preventive anticoagulation. A total of 1397 patients with COVID-19 came to our ED from the first to the 31 A DMT for ambulatory care of patients with COVID-19 requiring oxygen was associated with less return to the ED than usual practices.
