[|Human|] Hi, my husband had phnemiua and his oxygen level in the blood was 66% his right lung was full and it was going into his left lung he was hospitalized could you tell me all about the seriousness of it all the hospital doesnt explain it to me. thank you
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Normal oxygen saturation of body is more than 95%. So 66% saturation is considered as very low. Pneumonia is common cause for low oxygen saturation. Pneumonia if uncontrolled and extensive can cause collapse, consolidation and pleural effusion. All these causes non-functioning of involved lung. So oxygenation (main function of lungs) is hampered. This is having poor prognosis. Body can not sustain for long time with this much low oxygen level. After sometimes kidney, heart and brain start loosing their functions due to low oxygen saturation. So his condition is extremely serious. Prognosis in such cases is very poor. So discuss with your doctor and start vigorous treatment to control pneumonia. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
