In the publication of this article [1], in the Methods Section, there was an error in the following formulae:

$${\text{CaO}}_2={\text{SaO}}_2\times \text{Hb}\times 1.39+\left({\text{PaO}}_2\times 0.031\right)$$

and

$${\text{CcvO}}_2={\text{ScvO}}_2\times \text{Hb}\times 1.39+\left({\text{PcvO}}_2\times 0.031\right).$$

The correct formulae are:

$${\text{CaO}}_2={\text{SaO}}_2\times \text{Hb}\times 1.39+\left({\text{PaO}}_2\times 0.0031\right)$$

and

$${\text{CcvO}}_2={\text{ScvO}}_2\times \text{Hb}\times 1.39+\left({\text{PcvO}}_2\times 0.0031\right).$$

These have now been updated in the original article.

The data calculation used the correct formula.

We regret for any inconvenience that this inaccuracy may have caused.
