Q

What is blood analysis impedance

A

blood analysed by passing an electric current through a dilute solution of blood .

41
Q

How many times more readily does haemoglobin bind to carbon monoxide

A

200x more

42
Q

What is the advantage of fetal haemoglobin

A

binds oxygen at lower levels of partial pressures to allow diffusion of oxygen to the foetus
