Formulas based on established physiological principles: CaO₂ = 1.34 × Hb × SaO₂; DO₂ = CO × CaO₂; Renal O₂ Balance = RBF × (CaO₂ – CvO₂)
Renal anatomy adjustment only affects estimated kidney mass and renal oxygen demand calculations.
Volume load calculations assume ~75% of transfused unit volume remains intravascular, accounting for rapid redistribution of additive solutions.
