Is used for both blood and expired air samples.
Definition Partial pressure (or tension) of oxygen in blood.
High and low pO
2
values of arterial blood indicate
blood hyperoxia and hypoxia, respectively.
Unit mmHg; kPa; Torr
Range of indication mmHg; Torr: 0.0-800
kPa: 0.00-107
Reference range mmHg: 83-108 (m, f)
