Oxygen saturation is variable from person to person, because it is a characteristic dependent on how well your own respiratory system functions. The oxygen partial pressure inside the cabin of a passenger aircraft corresponds the oxygen partial pressure at 2400 meters altitude on Earth's surface.

What is the pao2 when the Oxygen Saturation 90 percent?

The partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) when oxygen saturation is at 90% is approximately 60 mmHg.


What are oximeters?

It is a device for measuring the oxygen saturation of arterial blood.


Oxygen Saturation results mean?

Oxygen saturation is the extent to which the blood is carrying as much oxygen as it is capable of doing. It is measured as a percentage. Oxygen saturation is the percentage of oxygen in the blood stream. Doctors become concerned when that percentage drops below 90%. It simple terms, at 82%, your brain other other organs are not receving enough oxygen to properly function. Anyone's oxygen saturation level varies from one moment in time to another. If you had a full copy of your sleep study report you might see reference to peak saturation (the highest saturation seen during the study), average saturation, saturation nadir (the lowest saturation recorded during the study), among other terms.


What would happen to the saturation in oxygen when its hot?

I'm assuming you're referring to saturation of oxygen in the blood. If the temperature is increased, oxyhemoglobin curve is shifted to the right, meaning hemoglobin realeses oxygen more readily, thus increasing blood oxygen saturation.


What instrument measures the body's oxygen saturation with a small clip?

A pulse oximeter measures the body's oxygen saturation with a small clip.


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.


What is unsafe oxygen?

Unsafe oxygen level is below 90% oxygen saturation.


When is an increase to oxygen saturation in tissues recommended?

An increase in oxygen saturation in tissues is recommended in situations where there is decreased perfusion or inadequate oxygen delivery, such as during hypoxia, shock, or severe infections. This can help improve tissue oxygenation and prevent damage to organs due to oxygen deprivation.


What is difference of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in lungs verses exercising tissue?

In the lungs, oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is close to 100% due to high oxygen levels in alveoli. In exercising tissue, oxygen saturation can drop to around 70-75% as oxygen is released to supply energy for muscle contraction.


Define the term oxygen saturation.?

Oxygen saturation refers to the percentage of hemoglobin molecules in the blood that are carrying oxygen. It is a measure of how well the blood is being oxygenated by the lungs. Oxygen saturation is typically measured using a pulse oximeter and a normal range is between 95-100%.


What is unsafe oxygen levels?

Unsafe oxygen level is below 90% oxygen saturation.


Why is oxygen saturation normal in carbon monoxide poisoning?

In carbon monoxide poisoning, oxygen saturation may appear normal because carbon monoxide binds more strongly to hemoglobin than oxygen, preventing oxygen from binding effectively. This can lead to tissue hypoxia despite normal oxygen saturation levels.
