Wait 87 SpO2?! I'm pretty sure that's the point at which you would be on a ventilator? Not sure what sleep has to do with SpO2 and it seems criminally negligent

Wait 87 SpO2?! I'm pretty sure that's the point at which you would be on a ventilator? Not sure what sleep has to do with SpO2 and it seems criminally negligent for the emergency room to just send your wife off with just a cough medicine..

An SpO2 of 92% or lower is considered severe. In most cases the patient should be hospitalized. https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n677 https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n677

If it stays there yes. This was for less than five seconds. After the medicine it hasn't gone below 95.
