Impaired O2 unloading from stored blood results in diffusion-limited O2 release at tissues: evidence from human kidneys
The volume of oxygen drawn from systemic capillaries down a partial pressure gradient is determined by the oxygen content of red blood cells (RBCs) and their oxygen-unloading kinetics, although the latter is assumed to be rapid and, therefore, not a meaningful factor. Under this paradigm, oxygen tra...
