The term oxygen saturation refers to the amount of oxygen bound to Hgb in relation to the maximal amount (100%) of oxygen that can bind Hgb. At 100% O. 2 capacity, the heam groups of Hgb molecules are fully saturated with O 2, and at 75% O 2 capacity, three of the four haem groups are occupied. ................
