This study quantifies oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve shifts due to pH changes during cardiopulmonary bypass. Findings reveal pH significantly alters oxygen affinity, impacting oxygen delivery to tissues.

Area of Science:

  • Physiology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • The oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve (ODC) illustrates red blood cells' oxygen affinity and delivery to tissues.
  • ODC shifts (left or right) indicate altered oxygen binding, crucial for physiological function.
  • Previous research noted ODC shifts with pH, pCO2, and 2,3-DPG, but lacked quantification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the extent of oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve shifts in response to pH variations.
  • To investigate the relationship between pH-induced ODC shifts and blood oxygen saturation.
  • To assess the clinical implications of ODC quantification during cardiopulmonary bypass.

Main Methods:

  • Blood gas analysis of arterial and venous blood during cardiopulmonary bypass.
  • Measurement of p50 shift and SO2 difference to quantify ODC shifts.

  • Correlation analysis between pH, p50 shift, and oxygen saturation changes.

    • Main Results:

    • Arterial blood showed a rightward p50 shift of 4 mmHg at pH 7.24 and a leftward shift of -3.5 mmHg at pH 7.51.
    • Venous blood exhibited greater p50 shifts: 4.8 mmHg (right) at pH 7.24 and -4 mmHg (left) at pH 7.51.
    • Arterial saturation changes minimally and inconsistently with pH; venous saturation changes correlated with p50 shifts.

    Conclusions:

    • This study provides the first quantification of ODC shifts based on pH changes.
    • pH significantly influences oxygen affinity and release, with distinct effects on arterial and venous blood.
    • Quantifying ODC shifts offers a novel method for evaluating treatment strategies during procedures like cardiopulmonary bypass.
