Approximate the corresponding saturation for a PaO₂ of 80 mm Hg under normal acid-base conditions by using the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve in the figure.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Find 80 mm Hg on the x-axis of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve,and draw a straight vertical line up to the dissociation curve.Then from that point,draw a horizontal line across to the y-axis.That will give the saturation.
