Welcome at HCM
I appreciate your health concerns
For how long she is having dementia? How is she now? Any fever? Shortness of breath?
As far as vascular dementia and oxygenation is concerned I don't think they have got any relation. But oxygenation is very helpful in pneumonia since it greatly improves the symptoms.
If she is vitally stable then I don't think there is any need of oxygen.
May she get well soon
