Precise Pulse Oxymeter SpO2
What are normal levels, and when should I worry?
Normal SpO2 is usually at least 95%. Some patients with chronic lung disease or sleep apnea can have normal levels around 90%. A medical professional should be consulted for SpO2 reading below baseline or per facility protocol if the patient is a long-term care facility resident or has been previously evaluated by a physician for COVID-19-related concerns.
Supplemental oxygen or other treatments might be needed. Other people in the community should contact a health care provider if they experience shortness of breath or when measured SpO2 is <95%.
