Apr 10, 2009 · Members are discussing the difference between PO2 and PaO2, with some stating that they are used interchangeably but technically not the same. PO2 refers to the partial pressure of …

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

Oxygen partial pressure (paO2) and saturation (saO2) are 2 different things - read about the difference. Saturation can be measure directly/invasively (saO2) or indirectly/peripherally (spO2).

Oct 22, 2014 · Can someone please help me understand how an SpO2 value can be 95 while the PaO2 reads as low as 40 to 60. I know SpO2 is Hgb saturation% and SaO2 is O2 pressur...

PaO2: partial pressure of oxygen PaCO2: partial pressure of carbon dioxide HCO3-: concentration of bicarbonate SaO2: arterial oxygen saturation Base excess (BE): excess or deficit of base in the …

May 21, 2024 · The normal range of the alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (PAO2 - PaO2) for healthy young adults breathing room air is typically less than 10 mmHg.

May 24, 2024 · PaO2 specifically refers to the measurement of oxygen in arterial blood, while pO2 is a more general term referring to the partial pressure of oxygen in any context.

May 27, 2024 · The normal range of the alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (PAO2 - PaO2) for healthy young adults breathing room air is typically less than 10 mmHg. A higher gradient may indicate a gas …

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...

May 13, 2014 · Remember that PaO2 (arterial oxygen, measured in torr or mmHg) is not the same as SpO2, ( hemoglobin saturation, a percentage of red cells carrying oxygen). if you think they are, your …
