Compare the changes in percent hemoglobin saturation that would occur in the two following situations: I. The blood PO2 drops from 100 mm Hg to 80 mm Hg. II. The blood PO2 drops from 40 mm Hg to 20 mm Hg. Select one: a. In both situations, the percent hemoglobin saturation would decrease by 20%. b. There would be very little reduction in percent hemoglobin saturation in situation I but a large reduction in situation II. c. There would be a large reduction in percent hemoglobin saturation in situation I but very little reduction in situation II. d. In both situations, the percent hemoglobin saturation would increase.

Solutions

Expert Solution

a. In both situations, the percent hemoglobin saturation would decrease by 20%, option (a) is not correct answer because in 1 sutiation percentage decrese is 20% and in 2nd case is 50%.

. b. There would be very little reduction in percent hemoglobin saturation in situation I but a large reduction in situation II. option (b) is correct answer. in first little reduction occur about 20% and in second case large reduction about 50%

c. There would be a large reduction in percent hemoglobin saturation in situation I but very little reduction in situation II. option (c) is not correct option because only 20% decrease in 1st case and 50% in second case.

d. In both situations, the percent hemoglobin saturation would increase. option (d) is not correct becasue in both hemoglobin % is decreases.
