Objective: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is a disease that can progress with hypoxemia and severe respiratory distress in some patients. The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve (ODC) is critical to understanding the effects of O2 exchange. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the ODC and oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin (Hb) in COVID-19 patients.Materials and Methods: In the study, ODCs were created by examining the data obtained from the arterial blood gas analyses of 686 intensive care unit (ICU) and non-ICU COVID-19 patients retrospectively.Results: It was concluded that patients with COVID-19 and other respiratory distress patients had a slight right-leaning trend in the ODC compared with the standard curve. The P50 value of the ICU group was higher than the other groups (mean: 30.74 mmHg, n=131, p=0.047). While the percentage of oxyhemoglobin (mean: 65.44% vs 69.81%, p=0.015), the amount of glucose (mean: 163.39 mg/dL vs 195.36 mg/dL, p=0.002) and pH (median: 7.38 vs 7.41, p=0.007) in the non-ICU group was higher compared with the control group, the carboxyhemoglobin percentage (mean: 1.66% vs 1.13%, p=0.000), PCO2 (42.02 mmHg vs 39.44 mmHg, p=0.015), potassium (mean: 4.33 mmol/L vs 4.04, p=0.026), and sodium (mean: 138.10 mmol/L vs 135.80 mmol/L, p=0.000) were lower. The methemoglobin percentage of the ICU group was lower (p=0.000) than the other groups.Conclusion: The ODC of COVID-19 and other respiratory distress patients shifts slightly to the right, indicating that patients have partial respiratory difficulties.
目的:冠状病毒病-2019 (COVID-19)是一种可在部分患者中进展为低氧血症和严重呼吸窘迫的疾病。氧解离曲线(ODC)是了解氧交换作用的关键。本研究旨在评估COVID-19患者ODC与血红蛋白(Hb)携氧能力的关系。材料与方法:本研究通过回顾性分析686例重症监护室(ICU)和非ICU患者的动脉血气分析数据,创建odc。结果:与标准曲线相比,COVID-19患者及其他呼吸窘迫患者ODC有轻微右倾趋势。ICU组P50值高于其他组(平均:30.74 mmHg, n=131, p=0.047)。非icu组的氧合血红蛋白百分比(平均值:65.44% vs 69.81%, p=0.015)、葡萄糖含量(平均值:163.39 mg/dL vs 195.36 mg/dL, p=0.002)和pH值(中位数:7.38 vs 7.41, p=0.007)高于对照组,而碳合血红蛋白百分比(平均值:1.66% vs 1.13%, p=0.000)、二氧化碳分压(42.02 mmHg vs 39.44 mmHg, p=0.015)、钾(平均值:4.33 mmol/L vs 4.04, p=0.026)和钠(平均值:138.10 mmol/L vs 135.80 mmol/L, p=0.000)低于对照组。ICU组高铁血红蛋白百分比低于其他组(p=0.000)。结论:COVID-19及其他呼吸窘迫患者ODC轻微右移,提示患者存在部分呼吸困难。
