Pulse Oximetry SpO2 ↔ PaO2 Converter

Estimate arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) from oxygen saturation (SpO2) using the Severinghaus curve model.

Saturation measured by non-invasive finger pulse oximeter. Range 50% - 100%.
The Clinical “Rule of 30”

A quick bedside correlation for pulse-oximetry saturation values:

  • SpO2 90% ≈ PaO2 60 mmHg (Hypoxemia boundary)
  • SpO2 80% ≈ PaO2 50 mmHg
  • SpO2 70% ≈ PaO2 40 mmHg (Severe distress)

Normal Saturation (95% - 100%)
Physiological Oxygen Dissociation

The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve is sigmoidal (S-shaped). At high saturation levels (95-100%), large drops in PaO2 cause only tiny drops in SpO2. However, below 90%, the curve becomes extremely steep, meaning small changes in oxygen levels cause dangerous, rapid desaturation.
