title: Oxygen transport and oxygen consumption in shock.
abstract: A review of data from patients in shock, or with very low cardiac output, shows that oxygen consumption is maintained above 90 ml . min-1 . m-2, even at the lowest values of arterial oxygen transport. CAIN [3] has found a limiting value of oxygen delivery in anesthetized, hypoxic dogs of about 10 ml . kg-1 . min-1, below which oxygen consumption falls dramatically. No comparable value has been established for man in shock.
