b. The firefighter is at about 10% hemoglobin O2 saturation, and he requires an external air tank.
c. The firefighter's hemoglobin saturation will be about one oxygen per hemoglobin, and he will require an external air tank.
d. The S-shaped saturation curve of hemoglobin is flat at this PO2, and O2 saturation doesn't change much with PO2 changes in mm Hg.
