Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Dear Laurie, You are not a pest! 72 is awful low. You should never be below 88. Sometimes when the batteries are low on the pulse oximeter you get goofy readings. You may want to check that out. Let us know what the doctor says tomorrow and keep your husbands stats about 88.

My husband has gone from 3 liters at rest to 6 and at times staying in the 70s. He is seeing his primary tomorrow but was just wondering if anyone has gone this low while weaning? He goes from a good sat of 92 to 72. I am beginning to wonder if the pulse ox. works right. The other day it said 34 then 29 that could not of been right he wasn't even gasping. I believe it was low but not that low. I have 2 one is a loaner and have checked the reading on them at one time or another. HELPLaurie Cheap Talk? Check out Yahoo!
