seven-oomen:nudityandnerdery:tharook:luckyspike:burn-away-the-flags–begin-again:shittymoviedetails:In the movie venom during the first human trials of the symbiote, the research team is happy that the patients “vitals are holding steady”. This is a reference to the production team not consulting a single medical professional to find out what good vital signs look like.Ah yes, a pulse of 136 And an oxygen saturation of 81%The ideal levels Yes nothing to be concerned about therePerfectly normalThey said they were holding steady, not that they were holding healthy.“Patient’s vitals are steady.”“Doctor… They’re dead.”“And maintaining that state quite well.”Well not dead, you’d have to go quite a bit lower than 81 percent to achieve death. And while 136 is elevated in heart rate that alone wouldn’t kill you either. So while this patient is definitely not healthy. They’re not dead.Your maximum heart rate is about 220 minus your age. So say this patient is 45 years old, that would mean their maximum heart rate is 175. (I believe in Venom most test subjects were quite a bit younger than that.)Meaning the heart rate isn’t the biggest problem here. It’s the oxygen rate:Normal arterial oxygen is approximately 75 to 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Values under 60 mm Hg usually indicate the need for supplemental oxygen. Normal pulse oximeter readings usually range from 95 to 100 percent. Values under 90 percent are considered low.It becomes a problem at 90–85% - called hypoxia. Below 85% may cause some cognitive problems. Severe level hypoxia is below 65% with severe mental impairment. Exposure for several days leads to acclimation in some and severe altitude sickness in others. Consciousness loss and death rapidly occur at SaO2 levels below 55%.So this patient is hypoxic which is why their heart rate is elevated and that (the hypoxia)  is their biggest issue. But they’re not dead yet and considering they have a symbiote attached to them, I’m not really surprised they are in cardiac and respiratory distress. So yeah, they’re holding steady (not vitals are normal) would be a valid response in this case. -- source link
