Chapter 6 Flashcards
(160 cards)
RBC
Made by bone marrow, Adult Male: 4.7-6.1 million RBC per microliter, Adult Female 4.2-5.4 Million/ uL
Anemia
low RBC or low HCT (hematocrit)
Polycythemia
high RBC, Altitude may increase hgb, when PaO2 decreases - hgb increases
Hematocrit
Percentage of RBCs in blood volume
Hematocrit normal ranges
Adult males 42%-52%, adult females 37-47%
Polycethymia
high hematocrit
pH normal ranges
arterial 7.35-7.45, venous 7.30-7.40
PCO2 normal ranges
Arterial 35-45 mmHg, Venous 42-48mmHg!!
HCO2
Arterial 22-28 mEq/L, Venous 24-30 mEq/L
PO2
arterial 80-100 mmHg, venous 35-45 mmHg!!
Hemoglobin
Oxygen carrying component of RBC’s (report as weight / 100ml of blood
Hemoglobin
Oxygen carrying component of RBC’s (report as weight / 100ml of blood.) about 280 milion hgb, pigmented portion of RBC’s (red, significant in SaO2 measurement)
each RBC contains how many heme groups
4 that can each carry 1 molecule of O2
What combines with the O2
FE++ contains about 280 milion hgb, pigmented portion of RBC’s (red, significant in SaO2 measurement)
What combines with the O2
FE++ contains
Each gram of hbg can carry how much O2
1.34 = 20.1 vol %O2
PaO2 of 100=
0.3 mL, 100x0.003= 0.3mL
Oxyhemoglobin Dissociation Curve
percent of O2 attached to hbg in reference to PaO2 and O2 content
Steep Portion of curve
PaO2 of 40-70 mmHg
Upper Plateau of curve
> 70 mmHg
Lower Plateau of curve
anaerobic, in deep do-do!
Reference point on curve
is PaO2 at 50% hemoglobin saturation (P50), done by tonometery, not clinically practical
Right shifts
O2 readily releases
left shift
impairs O2 release
