A member asked:
Can high o2 affinity hemoglobin cause arterial blood gas values of high o2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less O2 delivery: High o2 affinity HGB (leftward shift in o2 saturation curve) means it requires a higher partial pressure of o2 to achieve the same o2 saturation. The HGB is more tightly bound to o2 and less is delivered to the tissues. More o2 will be necessary to adequately deliver oxygen to the tissues.

In blood gas results is a po2 arterial result of 18 and an o2 saturation of 28.8 really bad?

My Arterial Blood Gas says P02 is 72 and the oxygen saturation is 95 and calcium (ionised) 1.12 . Are these normal numbers?
