What is the shift that can be caused with o2 sat with underlying infections?


Posted by grandmarn

My mom recently had to be placed on oxygen.  Medicare is looking at continuence and somehow the company says they can use only an o2 saturation.  How long should she be off to get a room air sat?  And what about the shift to the left with an underlying infection?  Or is it to the right?
