Calculate a patient's total arterial oxygen content given the following data:
•Arterial oxygen tension (PaO₂),100 mm Hg
•Arterial carbon dioxide tension (PacO₂),45 mm Hg
•Arterial oxygen saturation (SaO₂),97.5%
•Hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]),15 g/dL
•Cardiac output,4.5 L/minute
•Stroke volume,55 mL/beat

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula for calculating the total arterial oxygen content (CaO₂)is as follows: O₂ delivery = O₂ content = (Hb X 1.34 X SaO₂)+ (PaO₂ X 0.003)
