Oxygen saturation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oxygen saturation or dissolved oxygen (DO) is a relative measure of the amount of oxygen that is dissolved or carried in a given medium. It can be measured with a dissolved oxygen probe such as an ...

Oxygen Saturation (PDF File)
Expected Outcomes All changes in oxygen saturation are detected. The number of oxygen desaturation events is reduced. The need for invasive techniques for monitoring oxygenation is reduced. False-positive pulse oximeter alarms are reduced.

The alarms usually respond to a slow or fast pulse rate or an oxygen saturation below 90%. At this level there is a marked fall in PaO2 representing serious hypoxia. ... The oxygen saturation should always be above 95%. In patients with long standing respiratory disease or those with cyanotic congenital heart disease...
