La saturation pulsée en oxygène (SpO2) fait partie des paramètres vitaux couramment mesurés du fait de sa facilité de réalisation et de son caractère non invasif. Elle est généralement considérée comme normale pour une valeur comprise entre 95 et 100 %. Elle permet rapidement d'obtenir une estimation fiable de la pression en oxygène du sang (pO2). 1, record 2, French, - saturation%20puls%C3%A9e%20en%20oxyg%C3%A8ne

Glycated hemoglobin or glycosylated hemoglobin(hemoglobin A1c, HbA1c, A1C, or Hb1c; sometimes also HbA1c) is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. It is formed in a non-enzymatic glycation pathway by hemoglobin's exposure to plasma glucose. 2, record 4, English, - glycosylated%20hemoglobin
