"Oxygen saturation" refers to the fraction of hemoglobin that is saturated by oxygen. It is related to the partial pressure of oxygen in the inspired air and, therefore, to altitude. Normal oxygen saturation in an otherwise healthy individual at sea level is > 95%.

Low oxygen saturations can be found in a wide variety of lung diseases.

How does saturation effect RF value?

Saturation affects the RF value in a significant manner. With saturation of the air, this will result into high RF value which cause poor resolution.Ê

Recent sleeping oxygen saturation level was 81 Is this normal what can cause this?

Normal oxygen saturation levels vary slightly depending on age and activity. A blood oxygen level of less than 90 percent is considered abnormal. The organs in the body need a continuous supply of oxygen to function properly. If oxygen saturation levels in the body become too low, various problems can develop. When oxygen saturation is too low it is called Hypoxemia.


What is the normal oxygen saturation of the left ventricle?

Deoxygenated blood from pulmonary circulation and cardiac perfusion is dumped into the the left atria, which brings down the oxygen saturation to about 97%. This is referred to as physiological shunting.

Why 1g of Hb bind to 1.34ml of Oxygen instead 1.39 at full saturation?

1g of Hb can bind with 1.34mL of oxygen instead 1.39 at full saturation because it does so at normal oxygen capacity.
