Comment on Steady

Those aren’t life threatening vitals, they are just not healthy vitals. If you introduce a wild new experimental procedure to someone already unhealthy holding steady is a good thing, they aren’t crashing. Those are fairly standard vitals for say, someone with covid requiring hospitalization but hopefully not yet intubation, or someone with pneumonia or emphysema.

A quick check shows that 81% is typically considered severe hypoxia

Yeah, 81% on the pulse ox is bad. If the bipap doesn’t get that up you are buying a tube.
