Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Normal Ranges pH PaCO mmHg PaO mmHg
Oxyhemoglobin Dissociation Curve
Oxygen Transport Dissolved in plasma: (vol % = (ml O 2 /100cm 3 /mmHg) x PaO 2 Bond to Hemoglobin: 1.34 ml of O 2 /g of Hb x g of Hb x g of Hb/100 cm3 x % Saturated
Cyanosis Approximately 5 g/dl of unoxygenated hemoglobin in the capillaries (> 5 gHb / 100ml of blood)

Cardiac Assessment Ref: Bates 8 ed
Heart Sounds S 1 : “ lub” occurs at the beginning of systole (mitral and tricuspid close) S 2 : “dub” marks the start of diastole, (aortic and pulmonic close) S 3 : (ventricular gallop) early signs of CHF S 4 : (atrial gallop) pulmonic stenosis, aortic stenosis, hypertension, MI & cardiomyopathy
