Left: plot of CBF and cerebral oxygen delivery when breathing room air and 100% oxygen through nonbreathing ventilatory circuit. CBF decreased 7.6% when patients breathed oxygen, roughly balancing the projected increase in oxygen carrying capacity. As a result, cerebral oxygen delivery is completely neutral to inhaled oxygen. Right: percent reduction in CBF with 100% oxygen treatment as a function of hemoglobin level.
