Statistical variatio: It sounds like they measured your HGB from both your pulmonary artery and femoral artery, likely as part of a fick cardiac output determination. This is likely normal statistical variation. The important numbers are the oxygen content difference between the arterial and venous sites, which goes into the calculation for cardiac output.
