It contains roughly (by molar content/volume) 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, trace amounts of other gases, and a variable amount (average around 1%) of water vapor.

How is sating on room air spelled Is it sating or satting?

It is satting on room air. I am not sure about the "satting" on room air. When a someone, physician etc, says the patient is "satting" they are referring to the oxygen saturation. To be correct, they should say "saturating" but they are shortening it to "sat-ing". In the medical transcription world, it is not transcribed unless specific instructions are given by the client...Otherwise, a sentence with "satting" would be transcribed as.... The patient was saturating at 99% on room air. OR The patient's oxygen saturation is 99% on room air. I have seen it given in the vital signs and written: O2 saturation 99% on room air. OR. Oxygen saturation 99% on room air. If this is for a report on a verbatim account--I would use "saturating", not "satting.
