Availability of oxygen (O) is essential for life and function of all cells of the human body (n ≈ 10-10 cells). COVID-19 patients often have impaired lung function with compromised oxygen uptake, but little is known about microvascular oxygen delivery and tissue oxygenation. Use the Oxygen Delivery Index (ODIN) concept to assess peripheral microvascular regulation and oxygen extraction in COVID-19 patients. The ODIN concept includes two technologies (diffuse reflectance spectroscopy-DRS and computer assisted microscopy-CAM) for data acquisition from subepidermal nutritive capillaries. Output parameters are microvascular oxygen saturation (SmvO) and functional capillary density (FCD). Forty patients hospitalized for COVID-19 grouped into early discharge (
