Introduction: Evidence supports the role of oxygen delivery (DO2) in ameliorating acute kidney injury (AKI). While instrumentation for continuous DO2 measurement exists, a simplified method has been reported for targeting a specific DO2 index (DO2i), commonly referred to as a goal-directed perfusion (GDP) strategy, by using a reference table and available data such as body surface area and continuous haematocrit values. This simplified approach can also be used for quality auditing via archived data.
