QID 213640 (Type "213640" in App Search)
A medical student is taking care of a patient with iron deficiency anemia as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This patient presented to the hospital with shortness of breath and an oxygen saturation of 86% so he was placed on 2L of inspired oxygen. His hemoglobin was found to be 10.5 g/dL. In order to better understand the pathophysiology underlying the care of this patient, the medical student decides to calculate the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin in the blood of this patient on presentation. If 1 gram of hemoglobin binds to 1.34 mL of oxygen, what is the amount of oxygen bound to 1 dL of this patient's blood?
