Oxygen transport in blood Hemoglobin Oxygen O Deoxygen +O O Oximeters
Arterial saturation of oxygen SaO SaO is affected by partial pressure of arterial oxygen, PO. At low partial pressures, such as tissue capillary pressure of 40 mmhg, oxygen is released from hemoglobin, leading to a low SaO of about 75%. At high partial pressures, such as pulmonary capillary pressure of 95 mmhg, oxygen binds with hemoglobin, leading to high SaO of about 95 mmhg. Oximeters 3
