Alterations in Oxyhemoglobin Dissociation Curve During Normoxic Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution

Shifts in the oxygen dissociation curve (O.D.C.) have been taken into account when studying oxygen delivery to tissue as a dependent factor of oxygen availability. It can be assumed that changes in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation characteristics of the blood will have a certain effect on the amount of oxygen available (1,2).
