Title: Studies on the relationship between the equilibrium curve of oxyhemoglobin and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate in open-heart surgery. Author: Glynn MF, Cornhill F. Journal: Can J Surg; 1975 Jan; 18(1):73-6. PubMed ID: 235363. Abstract: The relationship between decreased oxygen affinity of hemoglobin and intraerythrocyte 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3 DPG) concentration was confirmed and its existence during the period of open-heart surgery was demonstrated. It is suggested that the trauma sustained by the erythrocytes during their extracorporeal circulation is responsible, in large measure, for the decrease in 2,3 DPG concentration.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
