Re: What is oxygen saturation?

[Guest guest]

The level of oxygen in your blood. Normal is 96% and above, ok is

anything over 85% for most people. However, as it has been explained

to me anything under 90% is a major issue for asthmatics and in my

particular situation I have to monitor mine frequently (the little

finger pulse/ox thingy) and keep mine above 94%.

Madeline,

Thank you for answering -

so oxygen saturation would be a good thing, then?

Madeline,

My post to you never went up, so this may be a duplicate if it ever

shows up.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for answering my question.

And I am assuming from what you said that it is a good thing?

Thanks, again,

Alana
