in patients with pneumonia, breathing is altered so there will be insufficiency in oxygen supply that would result to decreased hemoglobin. oxygen readily binds to hemoglobin in the lungs and is carried as oxyhemoglobin in arterial blood.

What is the effect of pCO2 on oxygen transport?
This is called the Bohr effect where a increase in pC02 which decrease the pH leads to a decreased affinity of hemoglobin to oxygen. This means that hemoglobin unloads oxygen in areas where pC02 is high e.g. active tissue and that the binding coefficient of hemoglobin is highest in the lung where pC02 is negligible.
Which mineral allows red blood cells to carry oxygen?
It is called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen and iron to the tissues.
What are Hemoglobin shots?
Hemoglobin carries oxygen in the blood, and it contains iron. Hemoglobin shots are a treatment for low iron or anemia. They're a replacement for the body's natural hemoglobin.
What is the molecular basis for the difference in the electrophoretic pattern between normal hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S?
sickle trait hemoglobin
What is the site of oxygen binding on hemoglobin?
You have Iron atoms in hemoglobin. This atom is the binding site for oxygen in case of hemoglobin.
What can cause of low hemoglobin in pneumonia?
illness
Why does hemoglobin decrease in hyperthyroidism?
Because hyperthyroidism tends to lead to anemia, which will result in decreased hemoglobin
Do increased temperature result in decreased carbon dioxide unloading from hemoglobin?
False
How much has the flu decreased since the vaccine?
Deaths and pneumonia have decreased as much as 90% since the start using the vaccine. That is surely one reason to get these each year.

What CBC parameters would be abnormal in a patient who has cancer?
TOTAL WBC COUNT,RBC COUNT,HEMOGLOBIN and platelet count will be decreased in Cancer.
Which of the following factors would increase the amount of oxygen discharged by hemoglobin to peripheral tissues?
decreased pH, increased temperature or increased levels of CO2
What is hemoglobin hope?
This is tigarvin Found an answer in this website: http://www.ginfo.pl Hemoglobin Hope (beta (H14)136gly leads to asp), a mildly unstable variant, was found to have decreased oxygen affinity, a normal Bohr effect and diminished cooperativity . Decreased oxygen affinity of hemoglobin Hope may explain the previous failure to find an appropriate response to hemolysis in individuals studied who were heterozygous for both hemoglobin Hope and sickle hemoglobin. Salt bridge formation between NA1 valine and H14 aspartic acid may stabilize the beta Hope subunit in its deoxy form thus producing intrinsically low oxygen affinity and reduced cooperativity. need a better answer
Why is more oxygen is released With the bohr effect?
The Bohr Effect is basically factors that have affected the loading of Oxygen and it means that the amount of Carbon Dioxide is increasing and the amount of PH is decreasing.
Why do nurses turn patients if they can't move themselves?
Patients who are on bed rest or bedbound and who cannot turn or move themselves are at risk for pressure ulcers (bed sores) caused by decreased blood flow to the area if pressure. Also, they are at risk for developing pneumonia and turning prevents accumulation of fluid in the lungs that can lead to pneumonia.
Is Hemoglobin a lipid?
No, hemoglobin is a protein.
