Fouty-Oxygenation Flashcards
oxygen content of blood (CaO2) units
ml O2/dL blood
oxygen delivery (DO2) units
ml O2/min
oxygen consumption (VO2) units
ml O2/min
higher the altitude, lower the what
pressure (atmospheric)
% of oxygen in atmosphere at sea level
21%
PO2 at sea level
160 mmHg
Pb (atmospheric pressure)
760 mmHg
what stays the same when you are on a plane
nitrogen and oxygen % in the air (the concentration)
what changes when you are on a plane
partial pressure of nitrogen and oxygen (due to atmospheric pressure decreasing)
Patmosphere
PiO2 (air gets humidified in upper trachea)
PAO2 (CO2 here due to alveolar/capillary membrane)
partial pressure of O2 in capillary is _______ to partial pressure of O2 in alveolus
identical
in a normal person, O2 ___ happens rapidly
diffusion and equilibration of PO2 in capillary bed
why is partial pressure of arterial O2 less than capillary and alveolus
b/c venous blood dumps into veins into LA (pulmonary + bronchial) —-mixed oxygenated
PvO2
40 mmHg (tissue extraction of O2 occurred)
oxygen dissolved in blood is solely dependent on _____
PO2
normal CO
5L/min
majority of oxygen for metabolism is carried by _____
Hb
what to think when there is a curve that maxes out at P50 (partial pressure at which Hb is 50% saturated with O2)
CO poisoning
ScO2
98%
SaO2
97%
SvO2
70%
____ binding increases Hb affinity for subsequent O2 molecules
oxygen
range of pressures when saturation and partial pressure of O2 are relatively linear
20-60 mmHg
red curve
green curve
red: advantage of tissue (Bohr effect)
green: advantage of lung (Haldane effect)
