It means 66% of the hemoglobin molecules are oxygenated. This is a very low reading for arterial blood -- not compatible with life (for a human) for more than a few minutes -- though it might be seen in venous blood. Normal arterial oxygen saturation percentage is in the 90s.

Oxygen Saturation results mean?
Oxygen saturation is the extent to which the blood is carrying as much oxygen as it is capable of doing. It is measured as a percentage. Oxygen saturation is the percentage of oxygen in the blood stream. Doctors become concerned when that percentage drops below 90%. It simple terms, at 82%, your brain other other organs are not receving enough oxygen to properly function. Anyone's oxygen saturation level varies from one moment in time to another. If you had a full copy of your sleep study report you might see reference to peak saturation (the highest saturation seen during the study), average saturation, saturation nadir (the lowest saturation recorded during the study), among other terms.
What does a 70 percent oxygen level mean?
it means that 70% of what is in the air is oxegon
What does an arterial oxygen saturation level of 44 mean?
That means the blood (hemoglobin) is 44% saturated with Oxygen. 44% is incompatible with life for a normal human. Normal person should be above 96% under normal condition.
What does desaturation mean in medical terms?
Desaturation is a decrease in oxygen saturation, which is a measure of how much oxygen is being carried in the blood.
What does a mixed venous blood gas sample drawn from pulmonary artery of 35 indicate?
It depends if the 35 is oxygen 35 mmHg or 35% oxygen saturation. Most likely you mean 35 mmgHg, correlating to a oxygen saturation about 65%, which is around normal. This blood has the lowest oxygen content in the body system. A 35% saturation though is clearly abnormal most likely indicates the body is not getting adequate oxygen.
What does medical code 94760 mean?
Noninvasive ear or pulse oximetry for oxygen saturation; single determination
What does a co2 level of 19 mean?
It means the saturation of the homeostatic system is out of wack. Your chance of survival is nil.
What does the medical abbreviation sats mean?
Depending on context, the term "sats" usually can mean Oxygen Saturation levels or short arm thumb spica. You may have had a pulse oximeter on your finger while getting health care at some point. It's a little device on the end of your finger with a glowing light. It's measuring your "sats." Normal ranges of SP02 levels are 90%-100%, ideally above 95%. Oxygen saturation is a measure of how much of the hemoglobin in the patient's blood is carrying oxygen. Short Arm Thumb Spica (a cast that immobilizes the thumb and wrist which extends to just below the elbow).
When told your sat levels are coming back what does it mean in medical terms after a major stroke?
Oxygen saturation levels returning to normal.
What does the ditloid 21 PO in A mean?
