Oxygen Utilization Coefficient

Oxygen Consumption VO2
ml/(min*m2)
Oxygen Delivery DO2
ml/(min*m2)
OUC:
%

Calculation Formula

OUC = VO2/DO2

Explanation

English Name: Oxygen Utilization Coefficient, OUC

Under normal conditions, only about 25% of the delivered oxygen is consumed. If oxygen consumption increases or oxygen delivery decreases, the OUC value will rise.
