Correction

Marat Mazalkov (19 February 2008) The John Radcliffe Hospital

The authors of this article maintain that low cardiac output states tend to have an unchanged oxygen extraction ratio. But a decreased systemic oxygen delivery and unchanged oxygen extraction ratio means that total oxygen consumption is low! This option is not followed in the article.
