Mixed Venous Oxygen Content (CvO2)

Mixed Venous Oxygen Content (CvO2) Mixed venous oxygen content (CvO2) is the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin (1.34 * Hb * SvO2) plus the oxygen dissolved in plasma (0.0031 * PvO2). Mixed venous oxygen content equation: CvO2 = (1.34 * Hb * SvO2) + (0.0031 * PvO2)....

Winter’s Formula

Winter’s Formula Calculation: Expected pCO2 = 1.5 * HCO3- + 8 +/- 2 When to use Winter’s Formula Winter formula is used during times of metabolic acidosis, metabolic acidosis is when both pH < 7.35 and HCO3- < 22 on an arterial blood gas. What is the...
