What would the total oxygen content equal if the hemoglobin was 16g%,SaO₂ was 90% and PaO₂ was 63 mm Hg?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total oxygen content in blood is calculated using the formula: Total O2 content = (Hb x 1.34 x SaO2) + (PaO2 x 0.003). Given Hb = 16g%, SaO2 = 90%, and PaO2 = 63 mm Hg, the calculation is: (16 x 1.34 x 0.9) + (63 x 0.003) = 19.3 + 0.189 = 19.489 vol%, which rounds to 19.48 vol%, making option A correct.
