Alv o2 tension
Pao2 = (PB-PH20) * fio2 - paco2/ .8
Or paco2 * 1.25
Alv art o2 gradient
P(A-a) o2
PAo2 - Pao2
Arterial oxygen content
CaO2
(Hb* 1.34 * Sao2) represents RBC +
(PaO2 * 0.003) Oxygen in plasma
Mixed venous oxygen content
CvO2
(Hb * 1.34 * Svo2) o2 in RBC +
(Pv o2 * .003) o2 in plasma
Art-Ven O2 content difference
C(a-v) O2
CaO2 - CvO2
SaO2 estimate
PaO2 + 30
P F ratio
PaO2 / Fio2
Mean art press
MAP
( 2 * diastolic ) + systolic / 3
Pulse pressure
Systolic - diastolic
Cardiac output. Fick equation (QT)
VO2/ C (a-v) O2 (10)
Cardiac output - stroke volume equation (QT)
Heart rate * stroke volume
