From: Venoarterial PCO2-to-arteriovenous oxygen content difference ratio is a poor surrogate for anaerobic metabolism in hemodilution: an experimental study

Relationship between oxygen transport to oxygen consumption (a), respiratory quotient (b), and venoarterial PCO2 difference-to-arteriovenous O2 content difference ratio (Pv–aCO2/Ca–vO2) (c). Oxygen consumption fell and respiratory quotient increased only in the last step of hemodilution and hemorrhage. In hemodilution, the increase in Pv–aCO2/Ca–vO2 was higher than in hemorrhage and appeared before the development of oxygen supply dependency
