Final notes Flashcards
Produced by incomplete oxidation of fossil fuels
CO
what are Oxidizing Agents
Nitrogen oxide nitrates nitrites chlorates some medications
Strong acids are
inorganic acids
HCL
H2SO4
HNO3
Strong Bases are
inorganic bases
NaOH
KOH
NH4OH
competes with O2 for Fe2+ binding site in here of reduced Hb to decrease oxygen saturation of arterial blood –> tissue hypoxia
CO
Forms carboxy-Hb
CO
Cherry red cyanosis
CO
primary target organ for CO poisoning
brain–> increases risk of Parkinsons Disease
Myocardium–> Angina/MI
initial s/s for CO poisoning
HA
confusion
how do you manage CO poisoning?
use 100% O2 or hyperbaric O2 chamber
Heme Fe2+–> Heme Fe3+ this process is called
oxidization
oxidized Hb aka
methmeoblobin
cannot transport O2–> dec O2 saturation of arterial blood–> tissue hypoxia
oxidizing agents
normally kept
oxidizing agents
developmental deficiency of this enzyme in neonates can result in methemglobinemia if fertilizer contaminated well water is used to mix baby formula
