The maximum amount of oxygen that will dissolve in water at a given temperature. Oxygen saturation is determined by pairing the temperature of the water with the dissolved oxygen value, after first correcting the dissolved oxygen measurement for the effects of atmospheric pressure.
The amount of oxygen carried by blood to the maximum amount that it could carry, expressed as a percent.
The non-high-tech definition is simply the level of oxygen in your bloodstream, expressed as a percentage - 97% is optimal. [ ] P Q
the extent to which the hemoglobin is saturated with oxygen. (Hemoglobin is an element in the bloodstream that binds with oxygen and carries it to the organs and tissues of the body.) A normal oxygen saturation of the blood leaving the heart to the body is 95 to 100 percent. The oxygen saturation of the blood returning to the heart after delivering oxygen to the body is 75 percent.
The percentage to which all the available sites on a hemoglobin molecule in the blood are filled by oxygen or carbon monoxide. A saturation of 100% represents complete filling of the hemoglobin sites.
Proportion of oxygen in the arterial blood. This should be at least 90%. Young healthy people normally have an oxygen saturation of around 95 –97 percent.
Percentage of oxygen in blood
measure of oxygen carried by hemoglobin in the blood. Normal values 90% - 100%.
The amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin in the blood, expressed as a percentage of the maximal binding capacity
the level of oxygen carried by hemoglobin in the blood.
the amount of oxygen in a person’s blood. Some hospitals check an infant’s oxygen saturation level. This level is a measure of how well the baby’s heart and lungs are working. The normal level for a healthy fetus is greater than 30%.
Oxygen saturation is a relative measure of the amount of oxygen that is dissolved or carried in a given medium. It can be measured with a dissolved oxygen probe in liquid media, usually water.
