Oxygen Metabolism
Learning Objectives
Learn the overarching principles behind ensuring adequate oxygen delivery and consumption, and how these relationships are affected in different pathophysiologic states
Review the biochemistry related to aerobic and anaerobic metabolism and how they can be applied clinically to oxygen metabolism in the critically ill patient
Review invasive and noninvasive techniques involved in monitoring oxygen delivery and consumption
Develop a framework for approaching a patient in oxygen debt and interventions targeted towards improving oxygen delivery or reducing oxygen consumption
