Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam AB - The brain is a major energy-consuming organ in the body. An adult human brain weighs about 1500 g, which represents about 2% of the body weight, yet it consumes approximately 20% of the total body oxygen. In children up to age 4, the brain utilizes about 50% of the total body oxygen. Cerebral metabolic rate (CMR) is expressed in terms of oxygen consumption (CMRO2), which in a normal conscious adult is approximately 3.5 mL/100 g/min or about 50 mL O2/min in the resting state. In the absence of pathology, CMR is coupled with cerebral blood flow (CBF) at 50 mL/100 g/min.
