Human - Oxygen saturation is healthy adults is usually 100%. This is measured with a pulse oxymeter. Pulse oxymeters are available in most wards, acute care settings and ERs.
Edward W. Ryder - tHE INSTRUMENT IS CALLED (USUALLY) AN"OXYGEN SATURATION mONITOR. iT ALSO MAY GIVE THE PULSE RATE, THat usually is secondary to oxyhemoglobin readings. To get 100% there are a number of ways to do this. In respiratory care, a mask called a non-rebreather. The mask is secured tightly while a flow of 100% oxygen is delivered. Increasing the ambient pressure surrounding you could help. Think of the hyperbaric chamber used to increase oxygen saturation. By the way, the hyperbaric chamber is often used to help remove carbon monoxide(CO) that has, about, 1,300 times affinity for hemoglobin. One could breathe rapidly in-and-out thus deceasing carbon dioxide while concurrently increasing the partial pressure of and mostly insignificant amount of oxygen. Hope this info helps. Have a good day.

ReplyDeleteDylan Pointon - Sea level is normally 95-100%. During air travel at Heights of 35,000ft + it drops lower but thats normal
