Monitoring O2 Transport and Tissue Oxygenation in Critically Ill Patient

  • Conference paper
Clinical Aspects of O2 Transport and Tissue Oxygenation

Abstract

Only a little more than 100 years ago, the German physiologist Pflüger was first to realize that the cardiorespiratory system fulfills its physiological task by guaranteeing the cellular O2 supply and removing the waste products of cel lular metabolism. He stated that everything else was secondary: “arterial oxygen content, arterial pressures, blood flow velocity, mode of cardiac work, and mode of respiration, all are incidental and subordinate; they all combine their actions only in service to the cells” [31]. But even today, with all that twentieth century technology has to offer, we are only able to monitor that which Pflüger called “incidental and subordinate.”
