Term
O2 Delivery
Definition
O2 delivery = blood flow (CO) x [O2]
O2 delivery = CO x (dissolved O2 + Hb-O2)
Term
O2 Transport methods
Definition
2% transported as dissolved
98% transported via reversible binding to hemoglobin
Term
Methemoglobin
Definition
MetHb: disease state that has more ferric (Fe 3+) iron, hard time carrying O2…usually only about 1.5% because of methemoglobin reductase
Term
O2 Carrying Capacity
Definition
O2 carrying capacity = (1.34 ml 02 / gm Hb x 15 gm of Hb / 100ml) = 20 ml 02 / 100m
Term
O2 content
Definition
O2 content= (capacity x % saturation) + dissolved O2
Term
Preloading
Definition
When blood leaves lungs, it is almost 100% saturated, a little admixture from cardiac veins and other sources. Comes back 75% saturated, only drop off 25% of O2. Called preloading, most Hb has 3 O2 already, very easy for 4th O2 to hop on. Also is reserve supply for strenuous activity.
Term
P50 of O2 to Hemoglobin
Definition
25-27 mm Hg
Term
Effects of CO
Definition
Effect of CO on the curve (flat @ 50% in example)
Decreases O2 bound to Hb and decreases O2 carrying capacity
Left shift for O2 XX
Heme groups with higher affinity for O2 (does not release)
Term
Factors affecting total CO2 carriage
Definition
Depends on:
PCO2
Plasma pH
PO2
Term
Haldane effect
Definition
At any PCO2, CO2 content increases with decreasing PO2—uplifting of the curve
As O2 leaves at the tissue level-----increase ability to carry CO2
“Flip-side” of the Bohr pH and CO2 effect at the alveolar level----where increasing CO2/pH result in increased affinity for O2
Haldane effect of O2 on CO2 (As PO2 increases, CO2 carrying capacity decreases---release CO2)
