In this second episode, Keith and Courtney discuss how oxygen gets from the lungs and down to the cellular level. This episode won’t Bohr you! Listen out for Keith’s fantastic explanation of how oxygen is carried in the blood to the tissues by using a “football fans and the London Underground network” analogy.  

Also, after breaking down the Oxygen Dissociation Curve, you may want to get your pulse oximeter out and use it in the recovery phase of your patient’s anaesthesia experience! They also throw in a few case base discussion points on tick-bite paralysis, geriatric pets and those animals who have perhaps been exposed to carbon monoxide in a house fire. This episode is relevant for all disciplines in veterinary medicine – not just anaesthesia!
