VO
2
I = 1.34 x Hb x (SaO
2
– ScvO
2
) x PCCI x 10
where VO
2
I = Oxygen Consumption Index (ml/min/m
2
)
Hb = Concentration of haemoglobin (g/dl)
SaO
2
= Arterial Oxygen Saturation (%)
ScvO
2
= Central Venous Oxygen Saturation (%)
PCCI = Pulse Contour Cardiac Output Index (l/min/m
2
)
SpO
2
= HbO
2
/ [HbO
2
+ Hb
Des
]
where SpO
2
= Partial arterial oxygen saturation (%)
HbO
2
= Concentration of oxygenated haemoglobin (g/dl)
Hb
Des
= Concentration of deoxygenated haemoglobin (g/dl)
NOTE
Physically dissolved oxygen is neglected.
