A person on there stated that on a oxomiter their sats were around 91/92% during and attack, but on ABG it showed sats were fine...is this possible or does the calcuation become different or are the docs just saying there fine coz their either pooping a breeze block right now or considering 91/92% as being fine?!?!

Pure curiosity...nothing drastic!!!

erm.. for me they aim for my sats to be between 88%-92% but thats because im on long-term 02. i think they like your sats to be 92% + in an attack if your o2 levels are usually normal. On a blood gas once mine was 4.8 or something and my c02 was 14 and they tubed me.. woke up a week later. so i dunno... but if anyone does know i would like to know!!! :)

Thank you! :)
