really?

You want to parse the difference between <85% are usually intubated/ventilated vs SpO2's in the 70's are intubated/ventilated?
Do you have a clue as to the clinical difference? or did you just google something to try and argue.

Regarding your link to practice in Latin America, I have no idea what their standards are. I'd be stunned if they even had the resources to ventilate all critical pts, much less those at SpO2s of ~90%. But you found a source that says otherwise. So, who knows?
