Question

An increased cardiac output causes the: 1) C(a-v)O₂ to decrease. 2) SvO₂ to increase. 3) Total O₂ delivery to decrease. 4) O₂ER to increase. A)1 B)2, 3 C)3, 4 D)1, 2

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increased cardiac output results in more blood being delivered to tissues, which decreases the arteriovenous oxygen difference (C(a-v)O2) and increases the mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2).
