Gaslighting is the attempt of one person to overwrite another personâs reality. Thereâs a good chance that you now know more about gaslighting than most therapists. And that is really unfortunate, because if you have experienced gaslighting, itâs going to be really hard to untangle it yourself. Unfortunately, you may have to, and I want to tell you that you are not alone.
The component of the arterial blood gas used to evaluate this is the PaO 2. Remember that the normal blood PaO 2 value is 80-100 mm Hg. Oxyhemoglobin Dissociation Curve The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve is a tool used to show the relationship between oxygen saturation and the PaO 2.
Oxygen Saturation. Normally, as PaO2 rises, SaO2, or oxygen saturation, will rise as well. Oxygen saturation of arterial blood has a normal range of 94%-100%. What this means is that normally 94%-100% of oxygen binding sites (which are located on hemoglobin) are saturated with oxygen. Note how that neither PaO2 nor oxygen saturation tell you how much total oxygen is in the blood. Another way to view oxygen saturation is to think about how sponges work.
