This graph demonstrates oxygen delivery at increasing Qp:Qs, at a cardiac output of 300 ml min−1 kg−1 (neonatal normal) or 450 ml min−1 kg−1 (neonatal supranormal). Oxygen delivery is maximal when Qp:Qs is just <1 Note that oxygen decreases markedly with increasing Qp:Qs, and that improving cardiac output significantly increases oxygen delivery.
