ox·y·he·mo·glo·bin

(ŏk′sē-hē′mə-glō′bĭn)
The compound formed when a molecule of hemoglobin binds with a molecule of oxygen. In vertebrate animals, oxyhemoglobin forms in the red blood cells as they take up oxygen in the lungs.

The affinity of CO to hemoglobin is 240-fold that of O2, and the dissociation of carbonyl hemoglobin is only 1/3600 of oxyhemoglobin. As a non-cumulative toxin, CO can be gradually dissociated from carbonyl hemoglobin after contact and treatment, so it has no chronic toxic effects.13-15 Up to now, the pathogenesis for DEACMP remains unclear.

Data including pH, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pC[O.sub.2]), partial pressure of oxygen (p[O.sub.2]), bicarbonate (HC[O.sub.3]), base excess (BE), and oxyhemoglobin saturation ([O.sub.2] saturation) were recorded.
Utility of venous blood gases in severe sepsis and septic shock
The HVR also causes a decrease in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2); the resulting respiratory alkalosis causes a leftward shift of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, which improves alveolar oxygen uptake and, to a lesser degree, reduces oxygen delivery to the tissues.
