I've been dealing with ESL dictators and I can't decide if they're saying in the PE that "pulse is 79, permanent" or pulse 79 per minute"  Any idea on which is more common?  Thanks.

I have replayed this multiple times and could swear the RN is saying the patient received 5.15 liters per minute of oxygen but that does not seem reasonable to me. The patient is in ICU for pulmonary hemorrhage and was desatting below 80.  Feedback anyone?
