The Relationships between Arterial Oxygen Flow Rate, Oxygen Binding by Hemoglobin, and Oxygen Utilization after Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

The interrelationships of arterial oxygen flow rate index, oxygen binding by hemoglobin, and oxygen consumption have been examined in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Proportional extraction of oxygen increased in close association with decreasing oxygen flow rate, and hence, whole body oxygen consumption was constant over nearly a three-fold variation in arterial oxygen flow rate. A reduction in hemoglobin-oxygen affinity at in vivo conditions of pH. Pco2 and temperature also occurred in proportion to the reduction in arterial oxygen flow rate. Therefore, the increased proportional removal of oxygen from arterial blood at low oxygen flow rates, required to maintain oxygen consumption, may have been facilitated by the reduced affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen at in vivo conditions. However, the decrease in affinity did not appear to explain more than 30-40% of the increased extraction.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
