A patient with severe anaemia may have a normal SpO₂ despite markedly reduced arterial oxygen content.
Choose one.
Correct — the statement is true.
SpO₂ estimates haemoglobin saturation, not the amount of haemoglobin available. CaO₂ can therefore be low when saturation is normal if haemoglobin concentration is severely reduced.
CaO₂ ≈ (1.34 × Hb × SaO₂) + (0.003 × PaO₂)
Exam trap: normal saturation does not guarantee normal oxygen content or delivery.
