Sp02 Measurement Information
28
Note : The following table informs you of the effects of various altitudes on oxygen saturation value and its
impact on the human body. It does not apply to people with certain pre-existing conditions (e.g., asthma, heart
failure, respiratory diseases). People with pre-existing conditions may show signs of illness, such as hypoxia, at
lower altitudes.
Altitude

Very frequent altitude sickness,
acclimatization absolutely essential
Severe hypoxia, only limited length
