Oxygen Utilization Rate

Oxygen Utilization Rate

Oxygen utilization factor (OCF) is an indicator that characterizes the efficiency of oxygen use in the human or animal body. It is defined as the ratio of the amount of oxygen used by the body to the total amount of oxygen supplied to the body.

CFC can be used to assess the efficiency of respiration, circulation and other processes associated with the use of oxygen. For example, in people with lung or heart disease, the CIC may be reduced, indicating that the body is not using enough oxygen.

In addition, CIC can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of oxygen therapies and other treatments associated with increasing the body's oxygen consumption. For example, when treating hypoxia (lack of oxygen), the CIC can be increased by increasing the body's oxygen consumption or using special oxygen devices.

Overall, CIR is an important indicator for assessing a person's health status and the effectiveness of oxygen treatments, and can help doctors and other professionals make more informed decisions when treating patients.

Oxygen utilization coefficient is an indicator equal to the ratio of the total oxygen absorbed by the working body (QO2) to the total amount of oxygen that could be absorbed under appropriate conditions. Oxygen and nitrogen in the air are in the ratio of 21% O2 / 78% N2, with oxygen dissolved in
