P22 Early supported discharge with Domiciliary Oxygen and Integrated Respiratory Team (DO-IRT) care for hospitalised SARS-CoV2 patients

P22 Table 1Clinical characteristics of patients in DO-IRT pathwayResults24(22%) of 109 referred inpatients were accepted onto DO-IRT;22/24(92%) for oxygen weaning and 2/24(8%) for LTOT. Clinical characteristics are shown in table 1. Majority of declined referrals (55%) were patients who were above target saturations on oxygen and were supported to wean to air by IRT as inpatients. Duration on DO-IRT pathway was mean (SD) 16.3(7.2) days;median (IQR) length of stay saved for the oxygen weaning cohort were 9 (7–13) days. All-cause 30-day mortality and readmission rates on DO-IRT were 0% and 21% respectively. 14(58%) patients completed the satisfaction survey;14(100%) reported confidence in their care and were ‘extremely likely’ to recommend DO-IRT.DiscussionEarly supported discharge with home oxygen weaning for SARS-CoV2 pneumonia patients is feasible, safe and well-received by patients. Integrated respiratory teams with specialist oxygen expertise can make a valuable contribution to supporting acute medical flow. Future studies should investigate the feasibility of supported early discharge pathways with domiciliary oxygen in other conditions.
