French term or phrase: Sat
Hi all,

In a FR patient's hospital report, we are told the following:

Patient conscious but disorientated, Glasgow Coma Scale 14
Haemodynamically stable, fever 38 °C.
BP: 100/59, pulse 87 T: 39 Sat: 99

I would like some help understanding Sat, please. I have searched and found sérum anti-tétanique but this seems wrong.

Thanks.

Oxygen saturation


Explanation:
Hi,

This is a report on a patient's vital signs: blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature, and the last one is oxygen saturation. This patient has an oxygen saturation of 99% (above 95% being 'normal').
