Abstrakt: Background: This study's objective is to determine the slope of the hemoglobin oxygen dissociation curve in critically ill patients who have COVID-19 along with blood gas measurements and how mortality might be impacted by this circumstance.
Aim: It has been reported that the hemoglobin oxygen dissociation curve is not different from healthy patients in COVID-19. However, there are insufficient data on the behavior of the curve in patients who require intensive care.
Patients and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted between 01.03.2021 and 01.07.2021 with patients who were followed up due to COVID-19 in adult intensive care unit. P50 and lactate value obtained from in vitro calculated blood gas analysis. The survival status of the patients was recorded.
Results: The mean P50 value at the admission of nonsurvivors was significantly higher than survivors. In correlation analysis, a significant positive correlation was seen between P50, mortality, and lactate level at admission. SpO 2 , PaO 2 /FiO 2 ratio, and length of stay in intensive care unit were significantly negatively correlated with P50 levels.
Conclusion: A right shift in the hemoglobin oxygen dissociation curve is associated with mortality. Lactate levels were also associated with a right shift. Prospective experimental studies are needed to provide a better understanding of this process.
