How dangerous is it to have spo2 dropped to 80% while treated with oxygen supplement? what's the next step if oxygen supp. doesn't help.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Evaluation: If you are already on oxygen and your saturation is dropping to 80% you need to see your doctor right away. This needs to be corrected, depending on the medical condition you have you may need treatment adjusted. Take care!
