| What is the meaning of a right shift to the Oxygen dissociation curve> | O2 affinity for Hb is reduced, more unbound for O2 in capalaries |
| What is the meaning of a left shift to the oxygen dissociation curve? | O2 affinity for Hb is increased, less O2 unloading in capalaries |
| What causes a right shift to the oxygen dissociation curve? | acidosis, fever, increased pCO2, increased DPG |
| What causes a left shift to the oxygen dissociation curve? | alkalosis, low CO2, hypothermia, decreased DPG, CO poisoning |

| What is the chemical equalibrium of CO2 in the blood? What enzyme is key? | CO2+H2)<---->H2CO3<----> H+ HCO3-. 1st step catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase |
| How does the RBC act as a CO2 transporter? | dissolved CO2 enters RBC and binds to Hb, other is converted to caronic acid and bicarb which is exchanged on the outside for Cl- |
| What is the process of CO2 and bicarb release in the lungs? | dissovled CO2 exhaled, bicarb is pumped into RBC via Cl- where its bound to Hb and then exhaled |
| What is the RBC chloride shift? | maintians electrical neutrality by exchanging Cl- for HCO3- |
| What determines how well Hb binds CO2? | amount O2 unloads in tissues increased CO2 loading |
| What is the affect on oxygen saturation on the carbondioxide dissociation curve? | shift the curve upward |
| What is the arterial veous diff for O2? | 60mmHg |
| What is the arterial venous diff for CO2? | 5mmHg |
| How do O2 and CO2 move intpo/out of cappilaries? | only by diffusion. so O2 is lower the further away from capillary |
| What is myoglobin? what is whabdomyolyisis? | reserve of O2 in muscle, seen destroyed in muscle injury called rhabdomylysis which can damage kidney |
| What is the effect of exercise on the O2 dissociation curve? | shift to right, O2 is distributied easier |
| What are 3 means of hypoxia? | 1. low arterial )2 2. reduced blood O2 carrying capacity 3. reduced tissue BF |
| What is histotoxic hypoxia? | cells can't use )2 due to malfunction orf organells like mitochondria |
| What is the mechanism of cyanide poisoning? | prevents usage of O2 by cytochrome oxidase |
| What is the presentation of Cyanide poisoning? | HA, confusion, tachycardia |
| How is the dx of cyanide poisoning made? | bright red blood, high blood acetate, pink skin |
| How is cyanide poising treated? | sodium sulfate + hydroxycobalamine |
| What tissues survive longest and least without oxygen? | brain=3 min kidney/liver=10-15 skeltal=60min smm=24-72hr |
| Can you asccess the aorta at the aortic knob? Why not? | no. because see it medially and laterally in different planes can't assess size might appear falsely dilated |
| What does dilation of the azygous arch show? | ahows pressure in RH |
| What does a subcarinal mass do to the azygous esophageal recess? | displaces AE recess to right |
| What are the 5 main thing on the DDX for an airspace pattern? | blood, pus, water, protein, cells |
