Measure normal oxygen during therapy

2021-05-09 05:54:19
Dad is admitted for corona with 15 litres oxygen and he is showing 96. I would like to know how to measure his normal oxygen when he is oxygen therapy? Is it like we need to remove his oxygen for 30 mins and keep the oximeter for half minute and then see the measurement ?

Appreciate your curiosity but please don't do that. Go with the doctors who are managing the case- they do regularly check minimal required oxygen.
