Result:
ml/(min*m2)

Calculation Formula

DO2 = 1.34*CO*Hb*SaO2

Explanation

English Name: Oxygen delivery, DO2

Normal range of results: 400-600 ml/(min*m2)

Oxygen is not stored in the body and is fully utilized upon intake. Therefore, measuring oxygen delivery (DO2) and oxygen consumption (VO2) helps understand the circulatory system's ability to transport oxygen and the tissues' ability to uptake and utilize oxygen.

DO2 and VO2 are influenced by cardiac index (CI), hemoglobin (Hb), arterial/venous oxygen partial pressure (PaO2/PvO2), and oxygen saturation (SaO2/SvO2).
