What is another word for oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve?
Pronunciation: [ˈɒksɪd͡ʒənhˈiːməɡlˌɒbɪn dɪsˈə͡ʊsɪˈe͡ɪʃən kˈɜːv] (IPA) 
The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve refers to the relationship between oxygen saturation and partial pressure of oxygen in the blood. Synonyms for this term include O2-Hb dissociation curve, oxygen dissociation curve, and oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve. These terms are often used interchangeably in scientific literature and medical textbooks. The curve illustrates the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin in the blood at different partial pressures, ranging from low to high. Understanding this curve is critical to diagnosing and managing various medical conditions, such as respiratory failure and hypoxemia. By examining the curve, clinicians can assess how much oxygen is being delivered to tissues in the body and adjust treatment accordingly.
