Enter your VO2, CaO2, and CvO2 values into the calculator to determine your cardiac output.

Cardiac Output Calculation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate cardiac output based on the Fick principle.

Cardiac Output = VO2 / (CaO2 - CvO2)

Variables:

  • VO2 is the oxygen consumption (ml/min)
  • CaO2 is the arterial oxygen content (ml/L)
