In a human ventilator how much percentage of oxygen is given?

It depends on the ventilator. Some ventilators can only deliver 100% FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen). Other ventilators have a dial for selecting the FiO2. On those, you can choose just about any % you want, and the % you select will depend on the patient's condition.

they can adjust the amount depending on the patients needs.
