19
Q

What is Ligand of hemoglobin?

A
  • covalent bonds to the iron in Hemoglobin

- the bonds have more affinity to iron in hemoglobin than does oxygen

20
Q

Carbon monoxide binds ______ times stronger to hemoglobin than oxygen.

A
  • 250 times the affinity then oxygen
  • does not dissociate readily
  • Requires hours to rid body of CO
21
Q

Nitric oxide binds ______ times stronger to hemoglobin than oxygen.

A
  • 200,000 times the affinity then oxygen
  • hemoglobin binds irreversibly to NO
  • Used to treat hypertension
22
Q

What factors would create a left shift of the Hb-O2 dissociation curve?

A
  • Low PCO2 (alkalosis)
  • Low temperature
  • Low levels of 2,3 DPG
  • carboxyhemoglobin
  • methemoglobin
  • abnormal hemoglobin
23
Q

What factors would create a right shift of the Hb-O2 dissociation curve?

A
  • Acute acidosis
  • High CO2
  • Increased temperature
  • High levels of 2, 3 DGP
  • Abnormal hemoglobin
24
Q

What type of shift would you see on Hb-O2 disassociation curve after a blood transfusion?

A

A left shift - PRBC are stored cold and are low in 2,3 DPG

25
Packed red blood cells have a diminished level of what?
2,3 DPG
26
What is the normal CO2 production in a resting adult?
200 mL/min
27
What are the three forms carbon dioxide is transported by the blood?
1. Dissolved directly in blood. 2. Bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and Carbonic acid (H2CO3). 3. Bound to hemoglobin and plasma proteins.
28
In what form is most CO2 transported by in the blood?
-Bicarbonate (HCO3-)
29
What is the P50 of oxygen PO2?
P50 - the pressure of Oxygen PO2 when your hgb is 50% saturated. P50 = 27mmHg
30
Venous hgb has a PO2 of 40mm Hg, what is it's O2 Sat?
approx 75%
31
If you have a change in shape of the S-curve of the Oxyhemoglobin Curve, what does this indicate?
greater interference with O2 transport than a shift in the curve
32
Which has a greater affinity for oxygen, hemoglobin or myoglobin?
Myoglobin - binds O2 at lower PO2
33
What is Bohr effect?
An increase in H+ decreases Hgb's affinity for O2 (right shift)
34
What is the equation for CaO2 (O2 content of the blood)?
CaO2 = (SO2 * Hgb * 1.31) + (PO2 * 0.003) SO2 will be expressed as decimal rather than %
35
In the equation for CaO2, what does the 1.31 represent?
the amount of O2 (1.31 ml) that 1 gm of Hgb can carry.
36
What is the Haldane effect?
O2 binds to Hgb --> Hgb releases CO2 and H+
37
What is the rough way to estimate PaO2 to SaO2?
PaO2: 40,50,60 ~ SaO2 70,80,90 %
38
Give an example of Hypoxic Hypoxia
COPD
39
Give an example of Stagnant (ischemic) hypoxia
Arteriosclerosis, PVD
40
Give an example of Anemic Hypoxia
hypoxia due to anemia - inactivated hemoglobin.
41
Give an example of Histotoxic Hypoxia
hypoxia due to cyanide poisoning
42
How many oxygen molecules can bind to a single hemoglobin?
4
