Research Notes on Arterial Oxygen Content Calculator


The arterial oxygen content calculator is used to find the oxygen levels in blood.1 Oxygen is poorly soluble in water; therefore without other means of transport, it cannot be transported in blood in quantities needed to sustain life.1 That means comes in the form of hemoglobin.1

Fast Facts:

  • The equation for the concentration of oxygen in arterial blood is: CaO2 = (SaO2 x Hgb x 1.34) + (0.003 x PaO2).1
  • Oxygen can bind to hemoglobin at any of four active sites on each molecule of hemoglobin.1
  • Other factors such as tissue perfusion and oxygen uptake and extraction can play significant roles in end organ function or dysfunction.1
