Introduction:
The partial pressure of oxygen in the sea is about 100 mm Hg while that in a solution is equal to 3 mL O2/L of blood. Oxygen is carried by the blood in two forms, that is, the dissolved form and bound to Hb (hemoglobin).
Please refer to Clinical Application Case-2 for further information.
Explanation of Solution
The total oxygen content of arterial blood is denoted by
Putting the values of Hb as 15 g/dL,
Putting the values of Hb as 15 g/dL,
Total oxygen delivery can be calculated by using the following formula:
Putting the values of QT as 3.83 and
Putting the values of QT as 3.1 and
The difference between
The best PEEP was 5 cm
Therefore, it can be concluded that the best PEEP was 5 cm

- A spontaneously breathing patient has a normal PaCO2 of 40 mm Hg, a minute ventilation (VE) of 6 L/min, and a VD/VT ratio of 35% (0.35). Then the patient develops a pulmonary embolus (PE), blocking blood flow to a significant number of ventilated avleoli. Consequently, the measured VD/VT increases to 65% (0.65). 1. Calculate the alveolar ventilation associated with teh original PaCO2 of 40 mm Hg. 2. To maintain the same PaCO2 of 40 after the embolus occurs, what change must occur in total minute ventilation (VE)?arrow_forwardVO2 calculation scenario: Body mass= 102 kg, HR= 180 beats/min, SV= 110 ml blood/beat, venous oxygen content = 4 ml O2/100 ml blood.
