- in arteriole blood
- measures dissolved

- hypoxemia: low number calculated from equation
- hypoxia can be caused by hypoxemia and other things

HF

- hypoxia or ischemia
- pulmonary edema with CHF: may have reduced O2 content
Anemia

- O2 binding capacity reduced
- not enough Hb around
CO

- functional anemia: taking Hb away from O2

Alveolar Gas

- PAO2: O2 partial pressure in alveoli, lower because O2 exchange
- PaO2: lower because mixing of blood from vessels travel through lungs and do not go through alveoli
