,A Left shift in Oxyhemoglobin Dissociation Curve Correct
Answers A left shift will increase oxygen's affinity for
hemoglobin.
In a left shift condition (alkalosis, hypothermia, etc.) oxygen
will have a higher affinity for hemoglobin. SaO2 will increase at
a given PaO2, but more of it will stay on the hemoglobin and
ride back through the lungs without being used. This can result
in tissue hypoxia even when there is sufficient oxygen in the
blood.
