the behavior of the oxyhemoglobin curve was studied in ten patients with respiratory alkalosis ( arterial [ h+ ] less than 37 nm , pco2 less than 32 mmhg and hco-3 less than 22.0 meq/l ) and ten patients with metabolic alkalosis ( [ h+ ] less than 34 nm , pco2 greater than 37 mmhg and hco-3 greater than 28.0 meq/l ) to determine whether different alkalotic states similarly affect the red blood cell [ h+ ] and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate interaction and thus the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin .
