There is no definitive answer to this question as each patient and each case is different. However, a general guideline would be to maintain the patient’s pulse oximeter reading at or above 90%. This will ensure that the patient is receiving enough oxygen to support their body’s needs.

What pressure range is acceptable for delivery of oxygen to a patient?
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the specific needs of the patient. However, generally speaking, most patients will require an oxygen delivery pressure of between 2 and 4 liters per minute.
When should blood gases be measured in patients with a target of 88 92?
There is no definitive answer to this question, as the decision of when to measure blood gases will depend on the individual patient’s condition and clinical status. However, in general, blood gases should be measured in patients with a target of 88-92% if they are showing signs of respiratory distress, if they have a history of respiratory problems, or if they are on mechanical ventilation.
At what oxygen saturation level should oxygen be administered?
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the individual patient’s condition and needs. However, in general, oxygen should be administered when the patient’s oxygen saturation level falls below 90%.
What is the ideal site to measure oxygen saturation in a patient with tremors?
There is no definitive answer to this question as each patient’s individual physiology will dictate which site is ideal for measuring oxygen saturation. However, some common sites for measuring oxygen saturation include the finger, earlobe, or toe.
