oxygen
Explanation:
They're talking about the oxygen saturation and being pedantic about it. Oxygen circulates as O2 so technically it's dioxide. They're applying some medication that can cause respiratory depression so protocol would require they use a pulse oxymeter (that little red light they put on your finger). A decrease in this parameter is indicative of respiratory depression and would require some sort of countermeasure.
