Some links and formulas!

How does it measure cardiac output?

Using thermodilution and utilisation of Stewart Hamilton’s equation of:

(Tb-Ti)*Volume*k/intergration of change in T

What is venous admixture?

Venous admixture is the amount of mixed venous blood that needs to be added to end-capillary blood to account for the difference seen in pO2 between arterial blood and end-capillary blood.

It is calculated using the equation:

Qs/Qt = Cc’O2 – CaO2 / Cc’O2 – CvO2

Alveolar gas equation.

PAO2 = FiO2 (Patm – PH2O) – pCO2/R

 Is there anything else at the end?

Yes there is a correction factor (+F) which is FiO2 * pCO2 * (1-R)/R and this is normally less than 2mmHg.

O2 content = SaO2 * Hb * 1.34 (Huffner’s constant which ideally is 1.39) + pO2 * 0.003

the isoshunt diagram is figure 8 here:
