At sea level, a low oxygen level would be an arterial oxygen at or below 55 mm Hg, or an arterial oxygen saturation at or below 88 percent, taken at rest, breathing room air.
If your grandmother came to Miami from a high altitude, such as Denver, she would probably not need as high an oxygen flow as she does at the higher altitude.
