Chapter 4, Problem 2CAQ2
Summary Introduction
To review:
The factor in Fick’s law that was used therapeutically to improve the oxygenation status ofpatient.
Introduction:
Fick’s law is used to calculate the rate of diffusion of gases across a membrane. In the human body, the capillaries serve as the membrane in the alveolar-capillary system. The diffusion of gases takes place across this membrane.

9. A patient's cardiac output is measured as 5849.58 mL/min using the Fick's method. The spirometer measures an oxygen content in 600 mL of arterial blood. The spirometer measures 23.5 mL of oxygen for every 1000 mL of venous blood. If the oxygen uptake is 350 mL/min, find the oxygen content in 600 ml of arterial blood in ml.
