Suggested algorithm for the management of different risks based on initial stratification. #: signs and symptoms of severe illness, such as altered mental status, dyspnoea, oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry <94% at room air, respiratory rate >30·min−1, systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg, shock. ¶: impending respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, life-threatening organ dysfunction.
