Hyperventilation occurs when ventilation exceeds the demands of the tissues. An hour later he noticed that his vision became progressively blurred and he felt light-headed and dizzy. He passed out and his friends found him unconscious. The doctors tested a sample of arterial blood: the blood tests indicate the jason was poisoned by carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide affects the way hemoglobin transports oxygen: oxyhemoglobin. Iron in heme group binds o2: hemoglobin oxygen saturation, po2 refers to the oxygen dissolved in blood and cytoplasm (not attached to. Hb: %hb saturation = o2 bound to hb/total o2 binding sites, hb saturation curve, predict how pco2 affects hemoglobin affinity for oxygen. Think about what tissues are doing when there is a lot of co2 around. When pco2 is increased: hb has a lower affinity for oxygen, case study part ii. Jason"s hemoglobin is 50% saturated with carbon monoxide.
