An increase in which of the following parameters will shift the O2 dissociation curve to the left -

A
Increased temperature
B
Increased partial pressure of CO2
C
Increased 2, 3 DPG concentration
D
Increased oxygen affinity of hemoglobin
High-Yield Explanation
Hb-O2 dissociation curve shift to left indicates more affinity of Hb to O2 and thus less delivery of O2 to tissues. Shift to left seen in -        Increased pH -        Decreased 2,3 DPG, temperature, PCO2 -        HbF (Fetal) Shift to right seen in -        Decreased pH -        Increased 2,3DPG, temperature, PCO2 -        HbS (Sickle cell)
