Existing experimental and theoretical evidence suggests that precapillary diffusion of O2and CO2occurs between arterioles and tissue under normal physiologic conditions. However, limited information is available on arteriolar gas transport during anemia. With use of a mathematical model of an arteriolar network in brain tissue, anemic hematocrits of 35, 25, and 15% were modeled to determine the effect of anemia on the exchange, the change in the equilibrium tissue O2and CO2tensions, and the increase in blood flow needed to restore tissue oxygenation. We found that the blood Po2exiting the network fell from 66 mm Hg normally to 48 mm Hg during the severest anemia. Concurrently, the equilibrium tissue O2tensions dropped from 44 to 23 mm Hg. For CO2the exit blood Pco2was 58 mm Hg for a 15% hematocrit, an increase of 4 mm Hg from the normal value, and equilibrium tissue Pco2increased from 56 to 61 mm Hg. Blood flow increases from normal values necessary to offset the effects of the decreased O2delivery to the tissue were 26, 86, and 222%, respectively, for hematocrits of 35, 25, and 15%. We compared our model results with recent experimental studies that have suggested that the amount of O2diffusion is much higher than predicted values. We found that these experimental O2gradients are three to four times larger than theoretical.
