There is a special relationship that exists in our blood between the amount of oxygen thats available and the percentage of hemoglobin that is saturated. This relationship is often represented as a graph which we commonly refer to as the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve. Depending where our patient is on the curve it can tell us different things, as well as we have physiologic changes that take place, both naturally at different parts in the body as well as a result of various disease or other external processes that can alter this relationship. These alterations can result in right shift or left shift of the curve and have very different effects on the use and availability of oxygen.

Excellent vid once again and really helped get us listeners more depth on the curve. One thing if I could suggest it is (for us in the UK) it might be nice when talking about partial presures to also add the measurement in kPa as we don't look at it in mmHg. Might help someone but I guess it's not too hard to convert... Thanks again ICU Advntg...

What role does dissolved oxygen(PaO2) play in the body? Does dissolved oxygen(PaO2) replenish and bind to the hemoglobin molecules that have already used their bound oxygen?

@viviliberton6196 Жыл бұрын

I've always had a problem in understanding what exactly is PaO2. So if I'm correct it is the arterial content of O2, so the dissolved O2 seen as a pressure. It doesn't represent the amount of O2 on hemoglobin? We use PaO2 as 'the given amount of oxygen' on the X-axis, but how does a PaO2 decide the saturation, is it a kind of marker of how much O2 enters the body through the lung? I'm overthinking this, but I've always struggled with these basics.

I've just survived extremely low haemoglobin levels of 3.1g/dL or 31 g/L in the UK, where i am. I got released today and have been in since last Tuesday. My heart was failing, my ankles swelled right up and i could only walk a few steps before i was gasping for air. This has happened very slowly over the last 2 years, my GP thought it was my COPD getting worse, but sent me for a blood test for my liver function and a CT scan last December. I've just had another CT scan on Friday and all is clear, i'm waiting for a gastroscopy as an out patient. I might not of been up taking enough iron as i had 4 units of blood and an iron infusion and at my last blood test it was only at 8.9 g/dL or 89 g/L UK on Saturday as i'm very hard to get blood out of, i'm like a stone. They've put me on iron tablets and everything should go back to normal within the next week. I'm lucky to be alive as it was 1 of the lowest levels they've ever seen, 1 DR told me the only lower test they've seen was in a 96 year old who passed away at 2.6.

What are your thoughts about placing the finger pulse oximetry on the forehead or ear and potentially inaccuracies

@ICUAdvantage Жыл бұрын

Great question Kelsey. I think its probably less of a concern on the ear. I haven't seen much evidence though in the way of an inaccuracies with that or the forehead even. I know in personal experience the forehead has been tough to get to read with a finger sticky probe. I guess ultimately, if we have the equipment that is designed for that spot, use it, otherwise, if its all we have, well its all we have. And I'm sure we aren't going this route because things are working fine on a finger or toe lol. Whenever in doubt, wait until you have a good reading and a good pleth and then compare that to an ABG and that'll tell you if its accurate.

@nataliafernandez-montenegr8936 Жыл бұрын

Wait I’m confused with what you say at 14:14, so if a patient is in metabolic acidosis and we correct said acidosis, we would make it harder for tissue to get O2? But shouldn’t we still need to correct the acidosis?

@kalaowens1865 Жыл бұрын

it depends on the patient. sometimes they will allow what's called "permissive hypercapnia" in certain patients because the increased level of CO2 allows for them to perfuse better because oxygen is more readily available with higher partial pressure of CO2 or decreased pH. However, if the patient is extremely unstable because of their acidosis, it would not benefit them because hemodynamic instability will negatively impact their perfusion. So they might not have oxygen as readily available in a leftward shift, but they are able to utilize that oxygen that is bound more efficiently because they are hemodynamically stable. I hope that makes sense, I am not an expert so if I am wrong, someone else definitely chime in hahaha

@ICUAdvantage Жыл бұрын

So Kala is right on. I was merely mentioning about this scenario and the consequences of such. We certainly, and often do, allow a slight acidosis and usually don't correct past 7.2 as the body tolerates this well. That said, if they are 7.1, 7.0 or less, we are going to need to correct this back towards 7.2 but it is important to know there will be consequences too that will need to be accounted for. In one example, we may need to increase DO2 to compensate for this. Perhaps increased perfusion from more effective pressors in a less acidic environment might be enough to do this, but we may also need to increased FiO2 or PEEP being delivered. Sorry for the confusion, but I just gave a couple examples to know that there are "down stream" effects from the things we do and that we need to think of these to be able to anticipate other potential issues that come up. Sometimes we are damned if we do and damned if we don't.

you are making a big mistake here , Oxygen saturation measures how much hemoglobin is currently bound to oxygen compared to how much hemoglobin remains unbound not how much oxygen is bound to the Hb simply it is the amount of Hb bound to oxygen not the amount of oxygen bound to Hb.
