Summary
It was found that by using nonlinear multicomponent analysis with the spectra of oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin as basic spectra the mean O2 saturation of 2 to 3 red cells lying in a rouleau could be determined with an accuracy of 0.5–1.0%. At the same PO2 and PCO2 distinct differences in O2 saturation were found in different red cells; for 50% of the saturation values the differences were in the range ± 1.5%, for 30% of the values, the differences were in the range of ± 3% and 15% lay in the range of ± 4.5%. Only 5% of saturation differences were larger than 4.6%. These differences are so large that they have to be considered in calculations of the PO2 from O2 saturation measurements.
