Oxygen delivery to tissues is dependent on blood flow, the oxygen carrying capacity of the RBCs (related to hemoglobin levels), and the oxygen saturation of the hemoglobin in a perfusion-limited process. Previous research has shown that the kinetics of oxygen unloading—which is rarely measured—is slower than previously thought and may lead to diffusion-limited oxygen delivery to tissues, especially when RBCs…
