Q

Would you rather see a left or right side shift in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve? Why?

A

Right, if there is a left shift it means that Hg has a high affinity to O2 and is reluctant to let it go to the tissues

Q

How does the neumonic ROME help us to understand acid base balance?

A

Respiratory Opposite Metebolic Equal CO2 increases and pH is low then it is respiratory acidosis (opposite) HCO3 is high and pH is high then it is metabolic alkalosis (they go in the same direction)
