Effects of falling hemoglobin concentration on cerebral oxygen delivery. With mild hemodilution, it is theoretically possible that the resultant increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF) can raise overall O2 delivery. However, with further decrements in hemoglobin, the increment in CBF is insufficient to overcome the reduction in arterial oxygen content (CaO2).
