Abstract

The measurement and manipulation of oxygen transport (DO2) variables is now a central part of the management of critically ill patients. The experimental and clinical literature abounds with publications on various aspects of this concept. However there have been controversies, sometimes fiercely contested, on several key issues that have been raised in the clinical field. At first sight, it may seem that different groups of investigators have produced contradictory results in areas which are vital to clinical practice. This has led to confusion and possibly on occasion to nihilism. There has also been some Variation in the findings and conclusions from some experimental studies. But, in contradistinction to the clinical discrepancies, in the orderly world of tightly controlled laboratory experiments, the differences have been easily resolved by considering the methods of the studies in question.
