If hemoglobin is saturated (1.3 mL of oxygen per gram)and there are 150 grams of hemoglobin per liter of blood, how much oxygen can be delivered to the tissue if cardiac output is 15 liters per minute?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The oxygen delivery is calculated by multiplying the oxygen capacity per gram of hemoglobin (1.3 mL O2/g) by the amount of hemoglobin (150 g/L) and the cardiac output (15 L/min): 1.3 mL O2/g * 150 g/L * 15 L/min = 2925 mL O2/min.
