Answer:
0.8988
Explanation:
To calculate the fractional saturation of hemoglobin , the formula used is
YO_2=[tex]\frac{(pO_2)^n}{(p50)^n+(pO_2)^n}[/tex]
now putting the values
YO_2= [tex]\frac{58^3}{28^3+58^3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{195112}{21952+195112}[/tex]
=0.8988
Therefore, fractional saturation of hemoglobin= 0.8988
where
YO_2= fractional saturation of hemoglobin
pO_2= partial pressure of oxygen
p50= is the pO_2 at which hemoglobin is 50% saturated
