3. Fig. 2
Relation of Fio2 and the Qp/Qs ratio, systemic vascular and pulmonary vascular resistance (SVR and PVR), and oxygen delivery. Upper panel: As Fio2 is decreased the Qp/Qs ratio decreases. Middle panel: Systemic vascular resistance is unchanged by changes in Fio2, while pulmonary vascular resistance increases when Fio2 decreases to 50% or less. Lower panel: Oxygen delivery is maximal for Fio2 50%. This Fio2 is associated with a Qp/Qs of 0.7. *p < 0.05 compared with baseline or maximal value in lower panel.

6. Fig. 3
Influence of the Qp/Qs ratio on oxygen delivery. Oxygen delivery is at a maximum for a Qp/Qs ratio of about 0.7, and it decreases when the Qp/Qs ratio either increases or decreases from this range. *p < 0.05 compared with maximal value for oxygen delivery.

Relation of Sao2 and Svo2 to the Qp/Qs ratio. Upper panel: Sao2 increases as the Qp/Qs ratio increases, but it plateaus for higher values of Qp/Qs. Lower panel: Svo2 increases as the Qp/Qs ratio increases, reaches a maximum at a Qp/Qs ratio slightly less than 1, and then decreases for higher Qp/Qs ratios.

9. Fig. 5
Relation of PEEP, the Qp/Qs ratio, and systemic vascular and pulmonary vascular resistance. Upper panel: The Qp/Qs ratio decreases as PEEP is increased. This effect adds to the effects of lower Fio2. Middle panel: This effect is largely due to the increase seen in pulmonary vascular resistance. *p < 0.05 compared with baseline (0 PEEP). Lower panel: Effect of PEEP on oxygen delivery is not constant.

Relation of Sao2 and Svo2 to oxygen delivery. Upper panel: Sao2 becomes a poor predictor of oxygen for higher values of Sao2 (r = 0.26). Lower panel: Good correlation between Sao2 and oxygen delivery (r = 0.82).
