Arterial Oxygen Content Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Arterial Oxygen Content?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
CaO2=(Hb1.36SaO21000)+(0.0031PaO2)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
CaO2=(13g/dL1.36951000)+(0.003185)
Next Step Convert Units
CaO2=(130Kg/m³1.36951000)+(0.003185)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
CaO2=(1301.36951000)+(0.003185)
LAST Step Evaluate
CaO2=17.0595
