Q

What affect does anemia have on hemoglobin?

A

It lowers Hb to 9 g/100 ml of blood so the O2 capacity will be redued to 13 ml O2/100 ml of blood instead of 15

Q

Does anemia impact PO2? Why?

A

The amount of oxygen dissolved in plasma is NOT determined by Hb so NO

Q

Does anemia impact O2 saturation?

A

NO–this just tells you whether the RBC are saturated or not (you can have fewer there and they can still all be saturated)

Q

Does anemia impact O2 capacity?

A

YES!

With fewer RBC you can’t deliver as much O2

Q

How does Hb appear when it is reduced and how does this cause cyanosis?

A

It’s purple

Hypoxia (low O2)–> reduced form–> causes cyanosis

Q

What shifts the O2 dissociation curve to the right?

A

Less affinity for oxygen

22
Q

What reduces the affinity of oxygen to Hb?

A

LOW pH
Increased CO2
Increased temprature
Increased 2,3 diphosphoglycerate

23
Q

Does CO have a greater affinity for Hb than O2? What can this do?

A

YES–> this can tie up all the Hb

240x as much

24
Q

How do you tx someone with CO poisoning?

A

Put them in a hyperbaric chamber and increase pressure by 3 atm up to 2200 mmHG to get enough O2 to dissolve in plasma.

25
How id CO2 transported in the blood?
Dissolved Bicarbonate Carbamino compounds
26
What percent of CO2 is transported dissolved in the blood?
10% .067 x 40 = 2.67 ml CO2/dl
27
What is the predominate form of CO2 in the blood?
Bicarbonate 25 mep/L
28
What does CA do?
Catalyzes CO2 and water into H2CO3> H and HCO2
29
What happens to bicarb and H that are made in the RBC? What happens to Cl?
It diffuses OUT of the RBC H stays IN Cl is ATTRACTED INTO the RBC
30
Why is deoxygenated Hb a better carrier of CO2?
Acidification
31
Does oxygenated or deoxygenated Hb carry CO2 better?
Deoxygenated
32
What are carbamino compounds? This accounts for what percent of CO2 transport in the blood?
CO2 can bind to Hb 5%
33
How does the CO2 dissociation curve differ from the O2 dissociation curve?
Much more LINEAR and much STEEPER
34
Can the blood carry more CO2 or O2?
CO2
35
How does O2 saturation affect the CO2 dissociation curve?
Shifts it to the RIGHT
36
What controls bicarb levels?
Kidneys
37
What controls PCO2 levels?
Lungs
38
What is respiratory acidosis?
RETENTION of CO2
39
What are typical causes of respiratory acidosis?
Hypoventilation | Ventilation perfusion mismatch
40
What is respiratory alkalosis?
excessive EXHALATION of CO2
41
What causes respiratory alkalosis?
Exposure to high altitude
42
What is metabolic acidosis?
Decreased bicarb
43
What causes metabolic acidosis?
Acid in blood (diabetes mellitus)
44
What is metabolic alkalosis?
Increased concentration of bicarb
45
What causes metabolic alkalosis?
vomiting
46
How does O2 diffuse into the tissues?
From CAPILLARIES
47
What are diffusion distances in skeletal muscle?
100 u
48
What is the PO2 of muscle?
LOW 1-3 mmHg
49
What helps to keep the PO2 in muscle uniform?
myoglobin
50
What cause hypoxia/ decreased O2 delivery?
Low arterial PO2 Anemia Tissue blood flow disruption (embolism, thrombus) Poison
