Input interpretation
concentration of oxygen in blood
Equation
CtO_2 = 1.34 mL/g Hb SO_2 + 0.03 mL/(L mmHg) PO_2 | CtO_2 | concentration of oxygen in blood Hb | hemoglobin concentration in blood SO_2 | oxygen saturation of hemoglobin PO_2 | partial pressure of oxygen in blood mL/g | milliliter per gram (= 1000 mL/kg) mL/L | milliliter per liter (≈ 0.001) mmHg | millimeter of mercury (≈ 0.001316 atm) (assuming body temperature 98.6 °F; oxygen binding capacity of 1.34 mL per gram of hemoglobin; solubility coefficient 0.03 mL/(L mmHg))
Units
Input values
hemoglobin concentration in blood | 15 g/dL (grams per deciliter) oxygen saturation of hemoglobin | 1 partial pressure of oxygen in blood | 95 mmHg (millimeters of mercury)
Result
concentration of oxygen in blood | 203.9 mL/L (milliliters per liter) = 0.2039 mL/mL (milliliters per milliliter) = 0.2039 L/L (liters per liter) = 20.39 mL/100 mL (milliliters per hundred milliliters)
