Analysis of the interrelationships of non-nutrient blood flow, oxygen delivery, oxygen consumption, and the ratio of oxygen delivery/oxygen consumption based on a mathematical model of non-nutrient blood flow.
A mathematical model for total body non-nutrient blood flow has been presented. This is a gross model that will show effective non-nutrient blood flow. It shows how NNBF can occur in the setting of decreased oxygen delivery. The implications of this model on the interrelationships of oxygen delivery, oxygen consumption, the ratio of oxygen delivery/oxygen consumption, and NNBF are discussed.
