Can you explain the factors that determine delivery of oxygen to tissues (VdotO2; Fick
Equation)?
What specific adaptations allow Andean and Tibetan cultures to survive at high altitude?
How does the partial pressure of O2 in tissue impact the delivery of oxygen from blood to
tissue?
Factors that influence oxygen consumption and oxygen delivery are: weaning from ventilation, trauma, surgery, burns, inflammation and sepsis.
This is due to the increased red blood cells as adaptation. This is also called as high altitude adaptation.
The partial pressure difference causes the diffusion of oxygen from blood to tissue. When the partial pressure of oxygen is less in tissue and high in blood, there is the diffusion of oxygen from blood to tissue.
