std_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

std_kelman_po2_to_so2 calculates haemoglobin oxygen saturation from partial pressure of oxygen in blood viathe method described by \insertCitekelman_1966co2ntent. This form makes no correction for acid/base disturbance, assuming pH=7.4, temperature=37c and pCO2=40mmHg

Usage

std_kelman_po2_to_so2(po2, inputs_are_kpa = TRUE)

Arguments

po2	O2 partial pressure
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
