Yet humans are rarely attacked by a shark, while millions of sharks are killed by humans. Some populations of shark species, such as the shortspine spurdog, may have dropped by 95 percent. The sharksâ population decline has a ripple effect â throwing entire marine ecosystems out of balance.
Quick Answer. A normal blood oxygen level during sleep is approximately 94 to 98 percent, according to Sleep Apnea Guide. Levels below 90 percent oxygen saturation are dangerous to the human body. The human brain can only survive four minutes without oxygen before cell death occurs.
Patients whose oxygen level drops below 55 mm HG during sleep may need oxygen at night. Such patients usually experience fitful, poor-quality sleep. This type of oxygen therapy does not appear to affect survival or delay prescription of continuous oxygen therapy.
