NOTES

VO2 = used by lungs Ca -Cv =


Arteriovenous O2 difference

D = V/V . PVo = initial Volume


V/P = D.D = distensibility

Units
CO = L/min VO2 = ml/min Ca-Cv = ml/L

Concentration

C = M/V

M = mass V = volume C =

Correction/Error

Correction = MAP w/o


baroreceptors - MAP with
bareoreceptors
Error = With
