oxigénszaturációból

Oxigénszaturációból is a Hungarian term that translates to "from oxygen saturation" or "oxygen saturation level" in English. It refers to the percentage of hemoglobin in the blood that is carrying oxygen. This measurement is a vital indicator of how well oxygen is being transported throughout the body. Normal oxygen saturation levels in a healthy individual are typically between 95% and 100%. A reading below this range, known as hypoxia or hypoxemia, can suggest that the body is not receiving enough oxygen.

The measurement is commonly taken using a pulse oximeter, a small device that clips onto a fingertip, earlobe, or toe. It works by shining a light through the tissue and measuring how much light is absorbed by oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin. Factors such as lung disease, heart conditions, anemia, and even cold extremities can affect oxygen saturation readings. Therefore, while a single reading can provide useful information, it is often interpreted in conjunction with other clinical signs and symptoms. Healthcare professionals use this data to assess respiratory function and monitor the effectiveness of treatments aimed at improving oxygen levels.
