The partial pressure of oxygen in expired air is 109 mmHg. Partial pressure is calculated at the proportion of oxygen in the air, so at 1 atmosphere for dry air pressure is 713 mmHg (which is 760 total pressure - 47 mmHg water vapor) and oxygen is 21% of the dry gas concentration so inspired pO2 is 150 mmHg.
The Partial Pressure of Oxygen in ambient air in Denver (610mmHg) is 128.1mmHg.
The answer to the question what partial pressure of oxygen is a scuba diver breathing if the total pressure is 6.3 atm and 20 % of the air is oxygen is 1.26 atm (atmospheres).
Either lower the temp of the water, or increase the partial pressure of O2, or both.

PaO2 (partial pressure of oxygen) levels greater than 80 mm Hg should be avoided.

partial pressure of oxygen
The partial pressure of oxygen. Alternatively, you can think of it as the concentration of oxygen at a specific pressure.
At high altitudes, atmospheric pressure is lower. Therefore, the partial pressure (partial oxygen) is lower. As partial pressure of oxygen goes down, the body's desire for oxygen goes up.

The normal partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood is 75-100 millimeters of mercury. In comparison the partial pressure of oxygen at sea level is 750 millimeters of mercury.

In a sample of air, an increase in temperature will result in an increase in the partial pressure of oxygen.
