EP5 – Gas Transport in Blood | Anaesthetic Primary Topic | Respiratory Physiology | CT10

We start the New Year with discussing 'Gas Transport in Blood'. There are 4 learning objectives and this is a MUST KNOW TOPIC. I first look at the oxygen cascade (01:38) and then examine oxygen carriage in blood and the all-important oxygen dissociation curve (08:32). Then I discuss CO2 carriage and compare the CO2 dissociation curve with the ODC (22:27). Then I describe the Oxygen Flux equation (a very common viva question) and discuss markers of oxygen delivery (29:17).  Finally, there are key SAQs from the ANZCA and ICU exams that I have a look at and breakdown (33:14) and then I summarise todays topic (47:52). I will release a Special Episode 2 weeks before the written exam and the next episode we will go through 'V/Q Relationships.' Thanks for listening! As always if you have any feedback let me know!
