normal and the oximetry was low. This suggests the dissociation curve was not shifted and the low oximetry seen in their patient was due to the fraction of the abnormal hemoglobin not binding oxygen. Secondly, the authors state that a rightward shift in the dissociation curve results in a higher p50. However, they incorrectly state that a rightward shift in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve ...
