Figure 11. Relationship between the slope of the oxy-hemoglobin dissociation curve and alveolar Inline graphic.

Figure 11

Note that reduced alveolar Inline graphic (Inline graphic) causes a substantial increase in the slope of the oxy-hemoglobin dissociation curve (Inline graphic; see inset) and in Inline graphic at apnea onset (Inline graphic; based on Equation 12).
