Oxygen conformers in critically ill patients.
In 104 patients with various pathological conditions, the correlation between oxygen consumption and oxygen delivery was analysed by the least square method. As reported by Peirce in 1977, we also found oxygen conformers among critically ill patients, but a tendency to oxygen regulator was never found in our patients.
