To give you a better understanding of PowerShell, we should first define what a shell is. No, we're not talking about a turtle's shell. :) In computer science, a shell is a user interface that gives you access to various services of an operating system.
SaO2 can be measured either by ABG analysis or by pulse oximetry. SaO2 refers to the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin in arterial blood. SpO2 simply means that the SaO2 was measured using pulse oximetry.aO2 is an invasive measure of the % of Oxyhemoglobin (oxygen saturated hemoglobin) in the blood using lab tests on arterial blood. SpO2 noninvasive measure the % of saturated hemoglobin in the capillary bed and does not identify what is saturating the hemaglobin.
PO2 is just partial pressure of oxgen in a given environment, such as room air. 21% O2 in standard barometric pressure of 760mmHg means usual PO2 in room air is 760 x 0.21 = 160mmHg. PAO2 is partial pressure of oxygen in alveoli. PaO2 is partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in (arterial) blood.Partial pressure of a gas dissolved in a liquid depends on the qualities of the liquid and the concentration of the gas. This is where the dissociation curve comes in-its the relationship between the pp and total content of O2 in the blood. Hi All, I am in the midst of preparing for my exams. I can't understand what is the difference between PO2 and Pa02. I know that PaO2 is the partial pressure of oxygen in blood. PO2 is partial pressure of Oxygen.
