Oxygen Therapy Concepts
Mixed Venous PO2 is adequacy of tissue oxygenation

PAlveolarO2 = PInspiredO2 - 1.2 x PAlveolarCO2
Causes of Tissue Hypoxia
- Pulmonary
DIffusion Block (Overcome by O2 admin)
Ventilation/Perfusion Inequalities
- Lung disease
Shunts - blood bypasses lung = no ventilation, small increase in O2 from passive ventilation
Causes of Tissu Hypoxia
- Post-pulmonary
Low Cardiac output
Impaired carrying capacity (Anemia/CO)
Impaired O2 release (Low DPG, Low CO2)
Cellular and Enzyme Abnormalities
