Oxygen Content (O
Oxygen content is defined as the total amount of oxygen
contained in a given volume of whole blood, including
dissolved oxygen and oxygen bound to hemoglobin. It is
expressed in milliliters of oxygen per 100 milliliters of blood
(volume %) as calculated from the oxygen saturation and the
hemoglobin concentration. Four moles of oxygen (22,393
mL/mol at standard temperature and pressure) can combine
with 1 mole of hemoglobin (64,458 g/mol) so that oxygen
capacity is equal to
4 (22393)

On the analyzer, hemoglobin can be manually entered,
calculated from the measured hematocrit, or occur as a
default value.
Oxygen Saturation (O
Oxygen saturation is defined as the amount of oxyhemoglobin
in blood expressed as a fraction of the total amount of
hemoglobin able to bind oxygen. It is calculated as follows:
