My instructors lecture notes state that SpO2 refers to pulse oximetry, and that SaO2 refers to peripheral capillary saturation. It also says that PaO2 is an inv...

22 okt. 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 …

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: …

10 jul. 2008 · SaO2 (and its indirect measurement SpO2) describe the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin in arterial blood. The term "saturation" likens hemoglobin to a sponge that becomes …

13 mei 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...

28 apr. 2007 · They need low oxygen level, but how low? How low PaO2 and SaO2 should go down before one decides to intervene?

12 sep. 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 the …

12 jan. 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...
