18
Q

fetal Hb

A

HbF (a subunits)

19
Q

when does HbF completely switch to HbA

A

by 6 months after birth

20
Q

Hb binding curve for HbF

A

up and to the left of HbA

21
Q

____ has higher O2 affinity than HbA

A

HbF

22
Q

what promotes O2 release in fetal tissues

A

acidosis and metabolic activity

23
Q

2 ways O2 transport is messed up

A

hypoxemia and impaired binding to Hb

24
Q

low level of O2 in the blood

A

hypoxemia

25
Q

unbound Hb by O2 is observable as

A

cyanosis

26
Q

production of _____ increases where O2 availability is low

A

2,3-BPG

27
Q

hypoxemia, anemia, heart failure are examples of what

A

where O2 availability is low

28
Q

this is due to lower levels of Hb available therefore lower CaO2

A

anemia

29
Q

this is due to higher levels of Hb available therefore higher CaO2

A

polycythemia

30
Q

these 2 things affect CaO2, but NOT SaO2 (% saturation)

A

anemia and polycythemia

31
Q

most heme contains what kind of iron

A

Fe2+

32
Q

what happens when Fe2+ is oxidized to Fe3+

A

metHb forms that cannot bind to O2

33
Q

will see cyanosis, normal PaO2, LOW SaO2

A

methemoglobinemia

34
Q

to treat methemoglobinemia

A

methylene blue (reduces ferric iron Fe3+)

35
Q

Hb has 200x higher affinity for ___ than O2

A

CO (carbon monoxide)

36
Q

HbO2 binding curve shifts where when CO present

A

down and to the left

37
Q

what causes CO poisoning

A

CO exposure

38
Q

to treat CO poisoning

A

100% O2

39
Q

this will have peripheral cyanosis, normal PaO2, LOW SaO2

A

CO poisoning

40
Q

oxygen delivery (DO2)=

A

CO (cardiac output) x CaO2

41
Q

In which individual would you predict low PaO2?

A

neither

42
Q

In which individual is O2 delivery likely limited by local vasoconstriction?

A

B

43
Q

In an anemic patient, which of the following would you expect to be low?

A

O2 content

44
Q

In which of the following scenarios would you expect diminished arterial O2 content and cyanosis, but normal PaO2?

A

carbon monoxide poisoning
