Copd Oxygen Saturation COPD, What Will 02 Saturation Be At Sea Level?
1 comment:
Hi, In Denver my sats without O2 while lying down can range around 89%, but lower if asleep, I am on O2 24/7. A trip to Florida and my sats with VERY slow walking was upwards to 98%. The minute I walked faster-on the beach or sidewalk I still required my oxygen around 3-4 for similar walk speeds in Denver I would require 8+ liters. Everyone reacts differently, so my experience may be way different from your husbands. Lyn-
