Liaison of blood O2 level and ride phobia

Abstract

Oxygen saturation is the fraction of oxygen-saturated hemoglobin relative to total hemoglobin in the blood. The human body requires and regulates a very precise and specific balance of oxygen in the blood. Normal arterial blood oxygen saturation levels in humans are 95–100. If the level is below 90 percent, it is considered low and called hypoxemia. Low concentration of oxygen may cause a large number of pulmonary disorders. It is actually accumulation of large number of phobias relating to fear of heights, close rooms, and dark places etc. Rides phobia can be overcome with the help of certain therapies. Pulse oximetry is an estimate the percentage of oxygen. Oxygen level play a vital role in our body. From this study it has made clear that people with high level of blood oxygen are more afraid of rides as compared to those whose oxygen level in blood is low.
