Abstract
The binding and buffering of O2 and CO2 in the blood influence their exchange in lung and tissues and their transport through the circulation. To investigate the binding and buffering effects, a model of blood-tissue gas exchange is used. The model accounts for hemoglobin saturation, the simultaneous binding of O2, CO2 , H+, 2,3-DPG to hemoglobin, and temperature effects [1,2]. Invertible Hill-type saturation equations facilitate rapid calculation of respiratory gas redistribution among the plasma, red blood cell and tissue that occur along the concentration gradients in the lung and in the capillary-tissue exchange regions. These equations are well-suited to analysis of transients in tissue metabolism and partial pressures of inhaled gas. The modeling illustrates that because red blood cell velocities in the flowing blood are higher than plasma velocities after a transient there can be prolonged differences between RBC and plasma oxygen partial pressures. The bloodtissue gas exchange model has been incorporated into a higher level model of the circulatory system plus pulmonary mechanics and gas exchange using the RBC and plasma equations to account for pH and CO2 buffering in the blood.
