Problem
Some diseases such as emphysema destroys aveoli and reduce respiratory surface area. Other diseases (like Pneumonia and Covid) may affect oxygen diffusion by causing pulmonary edema (which increases gas diffusion distance). Both types of disease lead to reduced blood oxygen and lower Hb % SAT. Your [Hb] is 15 g/100mL (15 gr/dL). If your Hb was 70% SAT how much oxygen would you transport per min at rest with a CO of 5 L? Show the calculation.
