2. Oxygen saturation (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation_(medicine)

   Oxygen is more readily released to the tissues (i.e., hemoglobin has a lower affinity for oxygen) when pH is decreased, body temperature is increased, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) is increased, and 2,3-DPG levels (a byproduct of glucose metabolism also found in stored blood products) are increased. When the hemoglobin ...

3. Effects of high altitude on humans - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_high_altitude...

   [2] [26] Pulmonary artery pressure increases in an effort to oxygenate more blood. Full hematological adaptation to high altitude is achieved when the increase of red blood cells reaches a plateau and stops. The length of full hematological adaptation can be approximated by multiplying the altitude in kilometres by 11.4 days.

4. Hypoxemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxemia

   Tissue hypoxia refers to low levels of oxygen in the tissues of the body and the term hypoxia is a general term for low levels of oxygen. [2] Hypoxemia is usually caused by pulmonary disease whereas tissue oxygenation requires additionally adequate circulation of blood and perfusion of tissue to meet metabolic demands.

   One of those vital signs is blood oxygen level, and in the hospital, it’s measured with a pulse oximeter. Patients with Covid-19 can sometimes have relatively mild symptoms and seem to be ...

6. Bohr effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_effect

   The Bohr effect increases the efficiency of oxygen transportation through the blood. After hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs due to the high oxygen concentrations, the Bohr effect facilitates its release in the tissues, particularly those tissues in most need of oxygen. When a tissue's metabolic rate increases, so does its carbon dioxide ...

   Normal levels in otherwise-healthy adults range between 95% and 100%, according to the World Health Organization and other experts, while a blood oxygen level of 92% or less may indicate a serious ...
