my mom is in S.I.C.U. On the ventilater machine the O2 reads?


Question:
40 percent. On the machine that records your pulse and blood pressure says 100 percent oxygen. do you know how long she will be the trach ventilater?is this a good reading?

Answers:
Read my answer on your other question posting.
40 percent is not a good reading. However a 100 percent reading would be. Or even anything above 85 would not be bad. O2 sats in their 70's arent that bad, depending on the illness, the person with that low of a reading will usually require oxygen for a long time.
