pO

): oxygen tension in mixed venous blood; measured and then

sO

sO
2
(v
–
): oxygen saturation in mixed venous blood; measured and then
entered
The calculation requires entering the sample type as "Arterial" or
"Capillary"
If sO
2
(a) > 0.97, the default value (3.578 kPa) will be used to estimate
the ODC.
If no venous sample is measured, FShunt is estimated assuming:
ctO
