If a patient's hemoglobin concentration (Hb) is 14 g/100 ml and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO₂) is 98%, what would be his arterial oxygen content? Remember that 1.34 ml O₂ is the maximum amount of oxygen that can be transported per gram of hemoglobin. Hint: O₂ content = (1.34 × Hb) SaO₂. A) 13.72 ml O₂ per 100 ml blood B) 18.38 ml O₂ per 100 ml blood C) 18.76 ml O₂ per 100 ml blood D) 19.30 ml O₂ per 100 ml blood
