40 percent is not a good reading. However a 100 percent reading would be. Or even anything above 85 would not be bad. O2 sats in their 70's arent that bad, depending on the illness, the person with that low of a reading will usually require oxygen for a long time.

As I told you before, we can not get much information from the blood gas reading you are telling us. As she is recieving supplemental oxygen from the vent. the reading will always be 100%. The point is: Can she breath on her own? If she can, how much Pa O2 she can reach without the machine oxygen. When she breath on her own and can get more than 60% Pa O2, she will be weaned off the vent. When this will happen, no one knows. Pray for her.

if the o2 reads 40%, that is not good. normal o2 sats should read between 92-100%. she will probably be on the ventilator for a long time, or until her o2 readings get better. the 40% is what she is breathing on her own, the machine is doing the rest. best wishes
