A pulse of 136 and an SpO2 of 81 are far from ideal, but they're also far from deadly. I'd say if you're fundamentally altering someone's biology traumatically and that's the worst thing it does to them they're doing pretty good, actually.

Yeah, I have sleep apnea and my SpO2 drops into the eighties once or twice a night.

Central apnea: fun for the whole family.
