Oxygen delivery and consumption involve three steps: oxygenation, oxygen delivery, and oxygen consumption. Oxygen delivery is the rate at which oxygen is transported from the lungs to tissues via cardiac output and arterial oxygen content. Oxygen consumption is the rate at which oxygen is extracted from the blood and used by tissues. Key terms defined include arterial and mixed venous oxygen content, which factor in hemoglobin saturation and oxygen dissolved in plasma. Normal oxygen delivery is around 1000 mL/min, while normal oxygen consumption is approximately 200-250 mL/min.

Most of the oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, although a small amount dissolves into the plasma. The oxygen is then transported from the lungs to the peripheral tissues, where it is removed from the blood and used to fuel aerobic cellular metabolism. This process can be conceptualized as three steps: oxygenation, oxygen delivery, and oxygen consumption. In this topic review, oxygen delivery and consumption are reviewed. Oxygenation is discussed separately. (See "Oxygenation and mechanisms of hypoxemia".) DEFINITIONS Oxygen content The arterial oxygen content (CaO 2 ) is the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin plus the amount of oxygen dissolved in arterial blood: CaO 2 (mL O 2 /dL) = (1.34 x hemoglobin concentration x SaO 2 ) + (0.0031 x PaO 2 ) where SaO 2 is the arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation and PaO 2 is the arterial oxygen tension. Normal CaO 2 is approximately 20 mL O 2 /dL. Similarly, the mixed venous blood oxygen content (CvO 2 ) is the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin plus the amount of oxygen dissolved in mixed venous blood: CvO 2 (mL O 2 /dL) = (1.34 x hemoglobin concentration x SvO 2 ) + (0.0031 x PvO 2 ) where SvO 2 is the mixed venous oxyhemoglobin saturation and PvO 2 is the mixed venous oxygen tension. Normal CvO 2 is approximately 15 mL O 2 /dL. Mixed venous blood is drawn from the right atrium. Peripheral venous blood should not be substituted because it tends to overestimate venous oxygen content. Oxygen delivery Oxygen delivery (DO 2 ) is the rate at which oxygen is transported from the lungs to the microcirculation: DO 2 (mL/min) = Q x CaO 2
where Q is the cardiac output. Normal DO 2 is approximately 1000 mL/min. Normal DO 2 is approximately 500 mL/min/m 2 if cardiac index is substituted for cardiac output.
