Bohr and Haldane Effect : Mnemonics

Epomedicine, May 23, 2023May 23, 2023

Haldane effect

Mnemonic: HALD

  1. Haldane effect
  2. when blood reaches Alveoli
  3. Left shift of oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve due to –
  4. Decarboxylation of hemoglobin (oxygen displaces carbon dioxide which is expired)

Bohr Effect

Mnemonic: BOHR

  1. Bohr effect
  2. when blood reaches Organs (tissues)
  3. Hydrogen ion (released from carbon dioxide) causes –
  4. Right shift of oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve (oxygen is released from hemoglobin into tissues)

Chest X-ray: Alveolar vs Interstitial Disease

Jun 19, 2015Jun 19, 2015

Interstitium is the scaffolding that supports the alveolar walls and surrounds both the alveoli and the terminal bronchioles. Neither alveoli nor interstitium is visible on a chest X-ray when normal. It is necessary to analyze whether the pattern of diffuse opacification in the lung field is alveolar or interstitial. Terms:…
