In: Anatomy and Physiology
mlO2/dLblood = (gHb/dLblood) * (%sat/100) * (1.34
mlO2/dLblood)
Given 16gHb/dL and saturation of 92%, what is the ml of oxygen in
the blood?
The blood Carey oxygen from the lungs to different body parts. The oxygen is transported in two forms:
The formula for calculation of total oxygen in blood will include both of the above-mentioned forms.
Note: the formula in the question above only includes the Bound form of oxygen only. But the actual oxygen content will differ when we include the dissolved oxygen also.
It was a pleasure answering your question. Hope this helps...
Good luck!!
