All it means is the level of oxygen saturation in your blood. You have probably had this measured by someone using a finger/pulse oximeter? They can be purchased quite cheaply on ebay and are easy to learn to use. Many people on oxygen use them to check their oxygen saturation (sats).

Hi binlid, I like to keep a record of my sats so i can see if things are deteriorating. Use Sp02, temperature, pulse, spirometer & blood pressure. All link to PC so i get to know my "normal". Probably a bit OTT but keeps me out of mischief!

Best wishes
