Abstract
Polynomial equations were fitted to 3 major segments of the standard O2 Hb equilibrium curve (OHEC) [in humans] using O2 saturation (SO2) rather than O2 tension (PO2) was the independent variable. Hill''s transformation contributes substantially to the very small residual errors of PO2, less than 0.21 Torr for all points. This characterization of the OHEC is more precise, and for certain applications more conveniently used than other available equations.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
