Jul 10, 2008 · PaO2 stands for the partial pressure of O2 in arterial blood, measured in mmHg. SaO2 is the arterial O2 saturation.

Oct 22, 2014 · The physiology of SaO2 and SpO2 is totally different. SaO2 is directly related Hgb and how saturated the blood is with O2 molecules. SpO2 is the measurement of dissolved O2 molecules …

Sep 12, 2012 · SaO2 is the measured value and the "a" stands for arterial. If you are moving a pulse ox probe around and looking at a waveform you are measuring the SpO2. If you are looking at SO2 on …
