Global Oxygen Delivery: Our Cells' Lifeblood
Life itself, oxygen, is continually being carried throughout our bodies to make sure that each and every cell gets its necessary quantity. Global oxygen delivery (Do2) is a complex mechanism that is essential to human survival.
Do2, which is a function of arterial oxygen content (CaO2) and cardiac output (CO), is the quantity of oxygen supplied to the tissues per minute. The amount of oxygen carried by each liter of blood is represented by CaO2, whereas CO is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute.
The Oxygen Journey
When oxygen is inhaled, it diffuses into the bloodstream in the lungs, where it starts its journey. Red blood cells' hemoglobin protein changes into oxyhemoglobin when it interacts to oxygen. After then, this oxyhemoglobin moves across the extensive blood channel network, supplying oxygen to every part of the body.
Do2 Influencing Factors
Do2 is affected by various factors, which include:
Output cardiac: Sufficient oxygen delivery and blood flow are guaranteed by a robust heart.
Concentration of hemoglobin:
