What is normal saturation?
"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.
What is a normal fetal oxygen saturation?
60
How could you increase patients oxygen saturation?
Put the patient on oxygen instead of room air.
Normal oxygen saturation for a 14 yr old male?
98
What is considered a normal blood oxygen saturation level for a non smoker how can this be affected by smoking and at what range is blood oxygen saturation considered impaired Resources appreciated?
Please restrict your queries to one question.
What is the pao2 when the Oxygen Saturation 90 percent?
60
What does oxygen saturation 36 percent mean?
The median oxygen saturation was 93 percent in the standard-saturation group ... for these infants than for infants who do not have chronic lung disease.9 ....Parental stress and parent--infant interaction were assessed by means of .... on supplemental oxygen at 36weeks of postmenstrual age was 46 percent
What happens if oxygen saturation is 50 percent?
if the oxygen saturation is 50% it means the total hemoglobin content of blood is half saturated with oxygen. in this condition the oxygen delivery to the tissues is the maximum.
Is it normal for your oxygen saturation to be at 98 percent?
What is the best oxygen sat level for fighting lung cancer?

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.
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 does a mixed venous blood gas sample drawn from pulmonary artery of 35 indicate?
It depends if the 35 is oxygen 35 mmHg or 35% oxygen saturation. Most likely you mean 35 mmgHg, correlating to a oxygen saturation about 65%, which is around normal. This blood has the lowest oxygen content in the body system. A 35% saturation though is clearly abnormal most likely indicates the body is not getting adequate oxygen.
Is oxygen saturation of 91-95 acceptable with a collapsed lung?
Yes. Oxygen Saturation should be above or equal to 95 percent in a normal adult (without a collapsed lung), so between 91-95 is acceptable.
How long may it take for this normal baby to achieve an oxygen saturation of 90 percent or greater?
Up to 10 minutes
When is an increase to oxygen saturation in tissues recommended?
The purpose is to increase oxygen saturation in tissues where the saturation levels are too low due to illness or injury.
What are oximeters?
It is a device for measuring the oxygen saturation of arterial blood.
