O2 sat: Depends on the patients oxygen saturation, normal saturation is greater than 94%, however chd patients can compensate for lower values.

Above 80: If a cyanotic heart lesion cannot be repaired yet, saturations are acceptable over 80. Sometimes if there are no good options for surgery due to size or other risk factors, upper 70's are tolerated. In the usa most will have sats in the mid 80s before complete repair.
