A patient carrying a mutant form of hemoglobin (KD = 48 torr) is planning to take part in a hiking trip that involves strenuous physical activity at ~10,000 feet above sea level. The mutant hemoglobin has reduced oxygen binding cooperativity (n = 2.2) and displays no major structural abnormalities. a. Calculate the percent saturation of hemoglobin in the lungs (pO2 = 70 torr at this elevation) for this patient and for an individual carrying a normal version of hemoglobin b. Calculate the percent saturation of hemoglobin in active skeletal muscle tissue (pO2 = 15 torr) for this patient and for an individual carrying a normal version of hemoglobin c. Will this patient transport oxygen from the lungs to active muscle tissues more or less efficientlythan an individual with a normal version of hemoglobin on this trip? Briefly explain your answer
Given the following ABG (arterial blood gas) values for an asthmatic patient, what is your diagnosis? Briefly explain how you came to that diagnosis. pH = 7.33 (normal range: 7.38-7.42 PaCO2 = 55 mm Hg (normal range: 38-42 mm Hg) HCO3– = 25 mEq/L (normal range: 22-28 mEq/L) PaO2 = 70 mm Hg (normal range: 75-100 mm Hg)
