Note:

Oxygen uptake rate can either be measured from expired gases, or it can be
estimated from the patient’s age, height, weight, and sex (see below).

Saturation Step-Ups

Saturation step-ups are the differences in oxyhemoglobin saturation [%Hb02] between adjacent
anatomical sites. These values are used as an aid in diagnosing intracardiac and great vessel
shunts. The ITC AVOXimeter 1000E calculates saturation step-ups between the following
anatomical sites:

Right atrium and superior vena cava

Right ventricle and right atrium

Pulmonary artery and right ventricle
