A note on Gutierrez's kinetics model for oxygen delivery to tissue.
The problems associated with Gutierrez model (1986, Resp. Physiol. 63, 79-96) on O2 delivery to tissue are discussed. He has used a dimensionally incorrect function for the oxygen dissociation curve (ODC). The dimensionally correct function for the ODC has been used in the analysis and the correct results are given for normoxic, hypoxic and anaemic conditions.
