The test is used to determine the pH of the blood, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide and oxygen, and the bicarbonate level. Arterial Blood Calculator
Formula: Metabolic Acidosis Compensation: Winters Formula Arterial oxygen content =(Hgb x 1.36 x SaO2) + (0.0031 x PaO2) where, SaO2 = % of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen (Normal range: 93-100%) Hgb = hemoglobin Normal range(Adults): Male: 13-18 g/dl Female: 12-16 g/dl PaO2= Arterial oxygen partial pressure (Normal range: 80-100) CaO2: Directly reflects the total number of oxygen molecules in arterial blood (both bound and unbound to hemoglobin) Thus by this Online Medical Calculator, Arterial Blood Oxygen content can be estimated. | |||||||||||
