ctO
2
Oxygen content is the sum of oxygen bound to hemoglobin as O
2
Hb and the amount of oxygen
dissolved in the plasma. This value is calculated from the measured O
2
Hb and tHb if available
and is estimated from the calculated SO
2
if the measured O
2
Hb is not available and if the calcula-
tion of oxygen saturation is selected.

P50
The oxygen partial pressure at half saturation, P
50,isdenedasthePO
2
value for a given blood
sample at which 50% of the hemoglobin is saturated with oxygen. While the actual P50 value can
only be determined by interpolation after measurement of oxygen saturation of a blood specimen
tonometered to levels of oxygen to provide an oxyhemoglobin slightly greater than and slightly
less than 50% with pH and PO
2
held constant at 7.4 and 40 mmHg respectively, the OPTI CCA-
TS allows for the estimation of P50 from measured SO
2
% , PO
2
and pH. If a measured SO
2
% is
not available, the P50 value may be input via keypad.
