Table 2.

Calculation of available oxygen (O2av in ml/min) in bleeding polytrauma patients according to the formula described by Nunn and Freeman in 1964 [15].

O2av = CO × SaO2 × Hb × 1.34

[CO, cardiac output (ml/min); SaO2, arterial oxygen saturation (%); Hb, hemoglobin concentration (g%); 1.34, O2 binding capacity constant (ml O2/g Hb)].
