Carbon monoxide, a product of combustion, is a toxic gas that has an extremely high affinity for hemoglobin (much higher than that of oxygen for hemoglobin); consequently, as soon as it dissolves in the liquid part of blood at low partial pressure, it diffuses quickly into red blood cells and binds to hemoglobin. In carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, even with very low partial pressure of inspired CO, CO rapidly binds to hemoglobin (Hgb), leaving a lower fraction of oxygen binding sites on Hgb available to be occupied by oxygen. What would you expect to find if you measure the arterial PO2 of a person with CO poisoning
