kelman_po2_to_so2: Calculate SO2 from pO2 of blood.

In bakenzua/co2ntent: Calculate Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen content of blood

Calculate SO2 from pO2 of blood.

Description

kelman_po2_to_so2 calculates haemoglobin oxygen saturation from partial pressure of oxygen in blood via the method described by \insertCitekelman_1966co2ntent.

Usage

kelman_po2_to_so2(po2, temperature = 37, ph = 7.4, pco2 = 5.332895,
  inputs_are_kpa = TRUE)

Arguments

po2	O2 partial pressure
temperature	temperature in celcius. Default 37c
ph	pH (hydrogen ion concentration). Default 7.40
pco2	CO2 partial pressure. Default 5.332895kPa (40mmHg)
inputs_are_kpa	Input parameters are kPa, otherwise use mmHg

Value

Haemoglobin saturation as fraction

Note

kelman_po2_to_so2 doesn't work for po2 < 0.5kpa as returned SO2 can become negative
