Blood that has released its oxygen. It is dark red in color with a tinge of blue. It is a common misconception that deoxygenated blood is blue. Oxygen bonds to hemoglobin in the blood cells and is transported to where it is needed in the body where it exchanges with carbon dioxide.
The PaO2, like I said, is the partial pressure of O2 in arterial blood-- typically measured via ABG. SaO2 doesn't measure tissue perfusion. It measures as a percentage the amount of hemoglobin molecules which are oxygenated (oxyhemoglobin) in arterial blood.PaO2 = measures oxygen in the blood (80-100).aO2 (and its indirect measurement SpO2) describe the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin in arterial blood. The term saturation likens hemoglobin to a sponge that becomes saturated with oxygen. The measurement is given as a percentage. PaO2 describes the amount of oxygen dissolved in arterial blood plasma.
