On the dissociation curve, a person's PaO2 is 100 mm Hg. If the venous blood contains half the oxygen of arterial blood, what is the venous PvO2? Explain.

According to the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve, PO2 in the lungs of 100 mm Hg results in Hb being 98% saturated. At high altitude, there is less O2. At a PO2 in the lungs of 80 mm Hg, Hb would be ________ saturated? 98% less than 50% 95% 100%
