Tissue oxygen delivery depends on arterial oxygen content (CaO2) and cardiac output. CaO2 in turn depends on the hemoglobin concentration, arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation (SaO2), and arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) according to the formula CaO2 = (1.34 × hemoglobin concentration × SaO2) + (0.0031 × PaO2). With higher hemoglobin concentrations of 15 or 10 g/dL (rows 1 and 2), the contribution of PaO2 is less significant. However, at lower hemoglobin concentrations of 5 g/dL, increasing the PaO2 from 100 to 300 mmHg can increase the CaO2 by approximately 10%, from 7 to 7.7 mL O2/dL (rows 3 and 4). Refer to UpToDate for additional details.
