What this test measures
1This section shows the biological marker/agent measured by this diagnostic test. Each marker/agent opens its own page with related conditions. Detailed reference ranges are shown separately in the Reference ranges and concentrations section below, so they are not repeated here.
Reference ranges and concentrations
3These ranges are pulled from the existing EH diagnostic-test reference range tables. They can vary by laboratory, method, age, sex, sample type and clinical situation.
| Biological marker/agent / concentration | Reference range | Unit | Age | Gender | Category / test group |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oxygen Saturation (Arterial Blood, SaO2) | 95 – 100 | % | Child (0 - 16y) | Both | Blood Studies / Blood Gas Tests |
| Oxygen Saturation (Arterial Blood, SaO2) | 40 – 90 | % | Newborn (0 - 1month) | Both | Blood Studies / Blood Gas Tests |
| Oxygen Saturation (Arterial Blood, SaO2) | 94 – 96 | % | Adult (> 65y) | Both | Blood Studies / Blood Gas Tests |
Tip: scroll sideways on small screens to see all columns. Ranges are educational only and must be interpreted by a qualified clinician.
