In medicine it refers to the percent O2 attached to (arterial) hemoglobin as a comparison to the maximum that could be attached.
In a healthy person the blood leaving the lungs (and/or the left ventricle) should be 100% (or not less than 99%).

What does o2 mean on the periodic table?
Oxygen
What is saturation and decline stage?
saturation and decline of the supermarket
What does a co2 level of 19 mean?
It means the saturation of the homeostatic system is out of wack. Your chance of survival is nil.
Where is the water table located 1 at the top of the zone saturation 2 under the zone of saturation 3 in the layer of bedrock 4 below the layer of bedrock?
a. at the top of the zone of saturation
What is the approximate percent saturation of hemoglobin by oxygen in normal arterial blood?
The saturation should be above 90% in normal arterial blood. A totally healthy person will have 95-100% saturation.
Is O2 satsor O2 stats correct?
I will guess you are talking about measuring oxygen saturation with an oximeter? This would be O2 sat or sats, as in saturation. Many, many people do say O2 stats. As is statistics, or possibly status. It is a single number, therefore it is not ever statistics, a plural. And status isn't really shortened that way, and a single O sat does not equate a status. Now if you are talking about ABGs... Pet peeve of mine. :) Thanks for asking
Which does not occur in the lung tissues A.CO2 loading B. O2 unloading C.98 percent hemoglobin saturation D.75 percent hemoglobin saturation?
a and c
Is o2 saturation lower at high altitude is oxygen saturation lower at a high altitude?
The atmospheric saturation of oxygen decreases as altitude increases. Almost all humans can't live above 18,000 feet due to low oxygen concentrations
What is stature?
An ignorant way of pronouncing saturation. See saturation
What does saturation of fat mean?
it means it is bad for you.
What does saturation mean in geography?
In geography, saturation refers to the point at which a particular area or environment can no longer absorb or retain any additional quantity of a substance, such as water in the soil. This can affect various natural processes and landscapes, including groundwater infiltration, plant growth, and soil erosion.
What is the lowest o2 saturation level for an ambulance transport?
There is no minimum by law. When transferring from a hospital, it is determined by the attending physician as to if he is comfortable with transporting the patient.
Why pure oxygen can't be breathed?
Pure oxygen can be breathed. Pure oxygen is often given to patients in hospital that have low O2 saturation.
The phenomenon involving the greater combination of CO2 with hemoglobin at a lower Po2 and at a lower degree of hemoglobin saturation with O2 is called the?
Haldane effect
What does O2 mean?
O2 is the chemical symbol for oxygen. if something has O2 in it it has 2 oxygen molecules=)
What does it mean if saturation level is 70 percent?
example: say saturation level of sugar in water is 70 percent, if the solution is 70 percent sugar, it is saturated
The phenomenon involving the greater combination fo CO2 with hemoglobin at a lower PO2 and at a lower degree of hemoglobin saturation with O2 is called the?
Bohr effect. Incorrect. It is not the Bohr effect...it is actually the "Haldane effect"=The lower the PO2 and the lower the extent of hemoglobin saturation with oxygen (O2), the more CO2 can be carried in the blood. This phenomenon is called the Haldane effect. As per the Human Anatomy and Physiology eighth edition text book published 2010.
