Oxygen Hemoglobin Dissociation Curve Explained Clearly

Understand the oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve with this clear and concise medical lecture from Dr. Seheult.

We're glad you're here!

You may have noticed that the medical videos in this course are also available at our MedCram YouTube channel... but stick around because all new MedCram medical videos will be available first here at MedCram.com (and publicly posted to YouTube later... if at all).

Also, a growing amount of MedCram content (medical lectures, quizzes, review notes) is only available here at MedCram.com - and not available on YouTube.

We've got you covered!

MedCram allows you to cut down on study time and maximize retention and understanding by focusing in on what is most important. Dr. Seheult's medical Illustrations, charts, memory aids, and quizzes will make learning and reviewing medical topics a breeze. We think (and certainly hope) you'll find Oxygen Hemoglobin Dissociation Curve Explained Clearly very informative, easy to follow, and fun.

Thanks, I learned the side of the equation really makes a difference in the delivery Oxygen to the tissues

HOWARD EIKENBERRY

Information Basic and Solid. Question on CaO2 delivery to the Tissues. The Tissue O2 available is determined by the dissolved O2 in the plasma. The tissues/cells cannot use O2 bound to the Hgb Molecule, that O2 must be released by the Hgb molecule into the plasma to be available to the tissue/cells. The Hgb molecule at the tissue/cell level will flex under the condition of pH, Temp Etc. releasing the O2 and at the same time pick up the CO2. This is why i have some concerns with the large clinical reliance on Pulse Oximetry as it is only measuring bound O2 that is not immediately available to the tissues/cells. This is seen frequently in peripheral vaso constriction, poor hand circulation etc. So another site must be selected to achieve a more accurate reading of SaO2. Many clinicians do not do this or understand the limitation of Pulse Oximetry. without question Hgb is a huge factor in the total delivery of O2 to the Tissue/cells but Just measuring SaO2 is an incomplete story. Do you agree with this analysis?
