Oxygen Transport (pp. 830–832; Figs. 22.20–22.21) 1. Because molecular oxygen is poorly soluble in the blood‚ only 1.5% is dissolved in plasma‚ while the remaining 98.5% must be carried on hemoglobin. a. Up to four oxygen molecules can be reversibly bound to a molecule of hemoglobin—one oxygen on each iron. b. The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen changes with each successive oxygen that is bound or released‚ making oxygen loading and unloading very

nurse went ahead with her usual job without explaining the procedures to Mohat and later obtained results from his vital observations‚ which included temperature‚ heart rate‚ blood pressure‚ oxygen saturation and his respiration rate. She also managed to get an electrocardiogram (ECG) and gave him some 4L of oxygen via a simple facemask but Mohat felt very afraid. The nurse did not review his pain‚ because she couldn’t understand him very well. When the doctor reviewed him‚ he stated that his heart rate

Nasal oxygen supply suffices for maintaining o₂ saturation over 90% in mildly sedated patients‚ however when deeper sedation is needed during the procedure‚ dropping oxygen and rising CO₂ pressure‚ acidemia and arrhythmia is a frequent problem faced. Different approaches have been introduced for ventilating deeply sedated patients (like

The other listed disorders are more likely to cause problems with hypercapnia because of ventilatory failure.

‘heme’. The ‘heme’ group contains one atom of iron (Fe²+) and it is this iron that the oxygen molecule combines itself to. As there are four of the iron molecules in the haemoglobin this shows that a maximum of four oxygen molecules can be carried by the haemoglobin at anytime. For simplicity the equation of the reaction of haemoglobin and oxygen is written as a single polypeptide ‘heme’ chain reacting with oxygen: O2 + Hb ↔ HbO2 . The reactions of the four subunits occur in a consecutive manner‚ with

The function of myoglobin is to bind and release oxygen to the muscle cells‚ whereas the function of hemoglobin is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues‚ and transport carbon dioxide from tissues back to the lungs. Although both molecules bind to oxygen‚ their structures differ. While looking at myoglobin’s structure‚ it is evident as consisting of one polypeptide chain‚ and within this chain
