SpO2 level in pneumonia
My grandfather has recently been admitted to the ICU following a cerebral stroke. He subsequently has developed pneumonia. The doctor has reduced oxygen cylinder level from 8 to 5 and following that his SpO2 is around 85%. I didn't understand why the doctor did such a thing when he's suffering from pneumonia and condition is not improving.
