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%).

It means the saturation of the homeostatic system is out of wack. Your chance of survival is nil.
Yes, transferrin saturation and iron saturation are the same. Transferrin saturation is a measure of how much iron is bound to transferrin proteins in the blood, expressed as a percentage of total iron-binding capacity. This value reflects the amount of iron available for binding and transport by transferrin.
Percentage of saturation refers to how full a particular substance or condition is in relation to its maximum capacity. It is often used in the context of measuring the amount of a substance dissolved in a solution, such as oxygen saturation in blood or humidity saturation in the air.
You can change the saturation of a color by adjusting the amount of gray that is mixed with the color. A higher percentage of gray will decrease the saturation, while a lower percentage of gray will increase the saturation. You can do this using image editing software or by changing the color values manually.
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
a and c
An ignorant way of pronouncing saturation. See saturation
it means it is bad for you.
Yes, oxygen saturation (O2 saturation) can drop to 30 percent, but this level is critically low and usually indicates severe hypoxemia, which can be life-threatening. Such a drop may occur in conditions like severe respiratory failure, significant lung disease, or during a medical emergency. Immediate medical intervention is necessary to address the underlying cause and restore adequate oxygen levels in the body.
Haldane effect
Pure oxygen can be breathed. Pure oxygen is often given to patients in hospital that have low O2 saturation.
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.
O2 is the chemical symbol for oxygen. if something has O2 in it it has 2 oxygen molecules=)
The term for the purity or strength of a color is "saturation." Saturation refers to the intensity of a color, with high saturation indicating pure, vibrant color and low saturation resulting in more muted or pastel tones.
Yes, oxygen saturation is typically lower at high altitudes due to the decrease in air pressure and the reduced availability of oxygen. This can result in symptoms of altitude sickness and decreased exercise performance.
Color saturation refers to the intensity or purity of a color. A highly saturated color is vivid and vibrant, while a desaturated color is more muted or grayish. Increasing saturation makes colors appear more vibrant, while decreasing saturation makes them more muted.
