Oxygen is cheap--get a pulseox and use it ia few times, then spot check.
Sometimes the flowmeters are "off" a bit.
If you must conserve, due to lack of supply, then aim for a pO2 of
greater than 90.
If it is necessary to conserve often, then get a bigger supply, or be
more efficient, such as a EDS (medical equivalent is a CPAP)--

CPAP is something else, for treating breathing problems during sleep.
Hopefully you won't need one of those flying!

My apologies to the group--I re-read my post and must correct an error--

I know the difference between pO2 and SaO2. My "90" number is SaO2, of
course. This is the number you get from your pulseox meter.

Major brain disconnect on the CPAP

Sorry
