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 …

HCO3-: concentration of bicarbonate SaO2: arterial oxygen saturation Base excess (BE): excess or deficit of base in the blood The normal range for each of these components is: pH: 7.35-7.45 PaO2: …

SaO2 stands for arterial oxygen saturation, which represents the percentage of hemoglobin in the arterial blood that is saturated with oxygen. It is an important parameter in assessing the oxygen ...

May 13, 2007 · I am struggling with the difference/significance of PaO2 and SaO2 for my final next week. Does anyone know of a website that has REALLY basic information that m...

Jan 12, 2015 · Hi There, is there anyone who would be kind enough to express what a pre and post ductal oxygen saturation is and how to record these. Where do you place the sa...
