  • Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO₂) is an estimation of the oxygen saturation level usually measured with a pulse oximeter device. It can be calculated with pulse oximetry according to the formula
    [math]\displaystyle{ {SpO_2}=\frac {HbO2} {{HbO2}+Hb} }[/math]
    where HbO₂ is oxygenated hemoglobin (oxyhemoglobin) and Hb is deoxygenated hemoglobin.
