My patient was a 70year old retired home help who presented with a history of fast heart beat (Fibrillation in her own words) of 15years. It is imperative to use open ended questions during such discussions in order to encourage patients to speak freely (Patton‚ 1987).

relationships Oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve Shift to the right: decreased hemoglobin affinity for oxygen exists; therefore oxygen is more readily released to the tissues. Can be caused by acidemia‚ increased temperature‚ anemia‚ chronic hypoxemia‚ and low cardiac output states. When conditions exist where the curve has shifted to the right‚ the PaO2 is higher than expected at the normal curve. Shift to the left: hemoglobin affinity for oxygen increases and hemoglobin clings to oxygen. Can be caused by alkalemia
