Partial Pressure Driven Transfer of Oxygen Questions

Overview

In the least severe cases of respiratory distress due to COVID-19, simply increasing

the amount of oxygen that is breathed (e.g., using an oxygen mask) can bring 

oxygen saturation levels back to normal. Describe how this treatment works in the

context of partial pressure driven transfer of oxygen, oxygen-hemoglobin binding,

and levels of blood oxygenation in COVID-19 patients compared to normal blood

oxygenation levels.
