Hyperoxia does not affect oxygen delivery in healthy volunteers while causing a decrease in sublingual perfusion

Objective To determine the human dose‐response relationship between a stepwise increase in arterial oxygen tension and its associated changes in DO2 and sublingual microcirculatory perfusion. Methods Fifteen healthy volunteers breathed increasing oxygen fractions for 10 minutes to reach arterial oxy...

Description
Summary:Objective To determine the human dose‐response relationship between a stepwise increase in arterial oxygen tension and its associated changes in DO2 and sublingual microcirculatory perfusion. Methods Fifteen healthy volunteers breathed increasing oxygen fractions for 10 minutes to reach arterial oxygen tensions of baseline (breathing air), 20, 40, 60 kPa, and max kPa (breathing oxygen). Systemic hemodynamics were measured continuously by the volume‐clamp method. At the end of each period, the sublingual microcirculation was assessed by SDF. Results Systemic DO2 was unchanged throughout the study (Pslope = .8). PVD decreased in a sigmoidal fashion (max −15% while breathing oxygen, SD18, Pslope = .001). CI decreased linearly (max −10%, SD10, Pslope
