Abstract
Oxygen must be transported effectively from the atmosphere to the tissues in order to sustain normal metabolism. An understanding of oxygen delivery is therefore central to the management of patients during anaesthesia, resuscitation and during critical illness. This review deals specifically with the transport of oxygen from the lungs to non-pulmonary tissues.
