What does it mean when someone with pneumonia has an oxygen rate of 40?

Your oxygen level should be between 90 and 100 anything lower is considered a risk. If the oxygen level drops below 85 they will usually place someone on oxygen, if the oxygen level continues to drop on oxygen then they will try a by-pap machine if it still continues to drop they will intubate the patient. Chances are if your o2 level is only 40 they will intubate you and your lung could have possibly collapsed.

Recovery from pneumonia can sometimes be prolonged and result in long-term respiratory complications.
Does fire use up oxygen?
yes, it burns oxygen at a constant rate, that rate is unknown to me
Does blood oxygen levels influence respiratory rate?
Yes. Oxygen is a stimulant - it increases the heart rate.
Oxygen consumption can be used as a measure of metabolic rate because oxygen is?
oxygen is used for cellular respiration and is used more when metabolic rate increases
