What is the normal value range for SpO2?

75 - 85
90 - 100
80 - 90
85 - 95

The correct answer is: 90 - 100

The normal value range for SpO2, or peripheral capillary oxygen saturation, is considered to be 90% to 100%. This range indicates that the blood is adequately saturated with oxygen, which is essential for the proper functioning of body tissues and organs. A SpO2 value below 90% may indicate potential oxygen deficiency, necessitating further assessment and possible intervention. Monitoring SpO2 is crucial in various clinical settings, as it helps healthcare professionals evaluate a patient's respiratory status and oxygenation levels. Understanding this normal range is vital for transport nurses, as they are responsible for ensuring optimal oxygen delivery during patient transport, particularly in critical care scenarios where oxygenation can rapidly change.
