Point of attention

An oxygen saturation number in the 95% to 100% range is recommended. If the number drops to 92% or lower, that's a cause for concern (especially if under 90%). That's generally the level where a doctor might put you on supplementary oxygen and keep you in the hospital for observation (although people at high altitudes might have levels in the low 90s and be fine). That said, an oximeter alone should not be used as the basis for any medical diagnosis; you should consult your doctor immediately if you have any concern.
