Abstract

Oxygen consumption (Vo2) immediately following major injury in man has been said to be reduced. The evidence for this is poor. We have therefore measured Vo2 soon after major injury in 16 patients. Vo2 was reduced in only two patients, within the normal range in four and increased in ten. Vo2 was maintained by increased oxygen extraction in six patients leading to low levels of mixed venous oxygen saturation. There is no evidence for an ‘ebb phase’ response in man.
