2. Oxygen consumption rates can be calculated from blood gas measurements taken from arteries and veins. The equation is: 02 consumption = cardiac output x (arterial oxygen content – venous oxygen content) At rest, you determine that the O2 consumption is 250 mL Ozmin, the arterial oxygen content is 110 mL O2/L and the venous oxygen content is 55 mL O2/L. Given these numbers, calculate the cardiac output for this individual.
