Hydrochloric Acid And Suicide Case Study

1. Larry, who has 20% hct and 95% oxygen saturation would benefit by a transfusion because his hct is low, but does not need supplemental oxygen. Curly who has 40% hct and 95% oxygen saturation would be helped by neither because both hct and oxygen saturation percentage is in the normal range. Moe who has 30% hct and 95% oxygen saturation would benefit from a transfusion because his hct is low; however, supplemental oxygen would not be of any assistance.

2. a. At 60 mm Hg, the data values in the table are not consistent with the data in the plots; for example, total mm Hg O2 bound is 30 with oxygen for Bonnie and 2 for Clyde. On the conventional plot, the 60 mm Hg is depicted at 50 with oxygen for Bonnie and about 9 for Clyde. The table says Bonnie should be shown at 6 instead of 19 at this concentration on the seating plot; also, the table says Clyde should be shown at 0 additional amount bound instead of 10 on the seating plot.

b. On the seating plot, Bonnies

I started looking at this problem by looking at the table, as I checked the math of the table I noticed some errors. I rewrote the table on a piece of notebook paper and I saw where some gaps were. The numbers in red are the ones that I calculated to be different than the ones provided. Next I re-drew each plot, both conventional and the seating plot to better understand where the graphs varied. I noticed that around 60 mm Hg in most graphs had inconsistences so I decided to take my time and understand those points, next I looked at the plots on the exam and looked at how each plot differed from mine. I also used the conventional plot to analyze the saturation change, like the way I learned in lab 12 regarding the question of Gale Bladder and Baby Sue. The approach that best worked for me is the table of values because it is simple, and straight forward. The table does not involve any interpretation; I rather have exact numbers than attempting to guess the numbers on the seating and conventional
