Parameters and calculations
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.
[1]
ctO
2
can only be calculated if measured SO
2
is
available.
Unit: [vol%]

If PO
2
is not available, ctO
2
is calculated with PO

= 90 mmHg.
ctCO
2
(B)
ctCO
2
(B) is the sum of the total CO
2
in plasma and red blood cells (erythrocyte fluid
= ERY).

Unit: [mmol/L]
Equation 4-16

2
or if SO
2
not available, see SO
2(c)
(p. 99).
q
Correct calculation of the calculated value is only possible after measuring a whole blood
sample with the sample type setting “blood”.
pH
st
Standard pH value of the blood is defined as the pH value of a blood sample which
has been equilibrated at 37 °C with a gas mixture having a PCO
2
= 40 mmHg.
