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.

What is the rate of deaths caused by pneumonia in the Philippines?
The mortality rate of pneumonia in the Philippines was recorded at 38.4 in 2004.
Can someone live with a respiration rate of zero?
No, it is not possible for someone to live with a respiration rate of zero. Breathing is essential for oxygen to reach the body's tissues and for the removal of carbon dioxide. A respiration rate of zero would lead to oxygen deprivation and eventually cause organ failure and death.

What happens to your heart rate when you put your hands in cold water?
When someone is holding their breath, oxygen levels decrease. Heart rate will then increase to try to keep the oxygen flowing.
Do people with emphysema have a higher breathing rate than someone who does not have the decease?
People with emphysema typically have a higher breathing rate because their lungs are less efficient at oxygen exchange due to damage to the alveoli, leading to reduced oxygen levels in the blood. This causes the body to compensate by increasing the breathing rate to try to maintain adequate oxygen supply.
Does fire use up oxygen?
yes, it burns oxygen at a constant rate, that rate is unknown to me
What does bradypnoeic mean?
Someone with a respiration rate below 12rpm is considered bradypnoeic. Anyone with a respiration rate over 20rpm is considered tachypnoeic.
How does oxygen consumption affect metabolic rate?
Oxygen consumption is directly proportional to metabolic rate. As the body metabolizes nutrients to produce energy, it requires oxygen to carry out this process. Therefore, an increase in oxygen consumption indicates a higher metabolic rate, while a decrease in oxygen consumption indicates a lower metabolic rate.
What is the mortality rate at Brookdale Hospital?
There are various figures for the mortality rate at Brookdale Hospital. The mortality rate for heart attacks at the hospital are 18.1%. The mortality rate for heart failure is 10.1%. The mortality rate for pneumonia is 9.4%.
What are the treatments for pneumonia?
Pneumonia is treated with antibiotics. Often people will also receive bronchodilators to loosen and expectorate phlegm. They may get cough syrup, and something for fever. Lots of fluids will help loosen the phlegm too.
Do people with emphysema have a higher or lower breathing rate than someone who does not have the disease?
Emphysema causes a higher breathing rate. A person with emphysema can be "air hungry" even when getting external oxygen by mask or cannula.
