Q

how to treat cyanide poisoning (and the mechanism)

A

nitrites followed by thiosulfate

nitrites: hemoglobin –> methoglobin which bind cyanide
thiosulfate: to bind cyanide, forming thiocyanate , which is renally excreted

Q

methylene blue is used to

A

treat methoglobinemia

28
Q

carboxyhemoglobin

A

form of hemoglobin bound to CO in place of o2

29
Q

CO binds to Hb in the place of …

30
Q

carboxyhemoglobin causes

A

decreased oxygen binding capacity with left shift in oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve

31
Q

carboxyhemoglobin effect on curve

A

left shift in oxygen in oxygen-hemoglobun (and decreased plateau)

32
Q

carboxyhemoglobin causes in tissues

A

decreased O2 unloading in tissues

33
Q

CO vs O2 on Hb

A

CO binds competitively to Hb and with 200X greater affinity than

34
Q

carboxyhemoglobinemia treatment

A

100% 02 and hyperbaric 02

35
Q

how to treat methemoglobinemia

A

methylene blue

36
Q

oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve -shape and why

A

sigmoidal shape due to positive cooperativity

37
Q

Myoglobin - structure, properties

A

Myoglobin monomeric and thus does not show positive cooperativity

38
Q

Myoglobin - oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve

A

curves lacks sigmoidal appearance

39
Q

right shift of oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve causes

A

decreased affinity of Hb for O2

40
Q

right shift oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve - purpose

A

facilitates unloading of 02 to tissue

41
Q

oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve with fetal hemoglobin and mechanism

A

Fetal Hb has higher affinity for 02 than adult Hb, so its dissociation curve is shifted left

42
Q

oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shift factors

A
  1. H+ 2. CO2 3. Exercise 4. 2,3-BPG
  2. Altitude 6. Temperature
    increased –> right shift
    decreased –> left shift
43
Q

02 content =

equation

A 
O2 content = (O2 binding capacity x saturation) + disolved O2
 = (1.34xHbxSaO2)  +  (0.003xPaO2) 
SaO2=arterial 02 saturation 
PaO2=partial pressure of 02
(0.003xPaO2) = dissolved oxygen 
(1.34xHb) = oxygen binding capacity
44
Q

normally 1 g Hb bind …. 02

45
Q

normal amount of Hb in blood

46
Q

cyanosis results when

A

deoxygenated Hb > 5 g/dL

47
Q

02 binding capacity (calculation and result)

A

O2 binging capacity = normal amount of Hb in blood x 1.34 ml = 15g/dL X 1.34ml = 20.1 ml 02/dL

48
Q

02 binding capacity (result) (normally)

A

20.1 ml 02/dL

49
Q

decreased Hd –> O2 content of arterial blood?

50
Q

decreased Hd –> O2 saturation?

51
Q

decreased Hd –> arterial PO2?

52
Q

02 delivered to tissues (equation)

A

02 delivered to tissues = cardiac output x O2 contain of blood

53
Q

CO poisoning - Hb concentration?

54
Q

anemia - Hb concentration?

55
Q

polycythemia - Hb concentration?

56
Q

CO poisoning - % saturation of Hd?

57
Q

anemia - % saturation of Hd?

58
Q

polycythemia - % saturation of Hd?

59
Q

CO poisoning - dissolved O2 (PaO2)?

60
Q

anemia - dissolved O2 (PaO2)?

61
Q

polycythemia - dissolved O2 (PaO2)?

62
Q

CO poisoning - total 02 content?

63
Q

anemia - total 02 content?

64
Q

polycythemia - total 02 content?

65
Q

polycythemia - % saturation of Hd?

66
Q

CO vs O2 binding on Hb (affinity?)

A

CO has x200 greater affinity

67
Q

Dissolved O2 in blood - equation

A

0.003 x PaO2
