A self-calibrating fully automatic instrument for the measurement of oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production and the respiratory quotient of mechanically ventilated patients has been developed. The instrument is based on commercially available conventional oxygen and carbon dioxide gas analysers and a domestic natural gas volumetric flow meter. The distribution of the different gas flows, i.e. calibration gases, the inspiratory mixture sample and the expiratory mixture sample, are controlled by in inexpensive microprocessor, which also performs the necessary calculations. The accuracy of the instrument has been validated by bench tests. The present prototype has been in use for over 3000 h without major failures.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008991 Monitoring, Physiologic The continuous measurement of physiological processes, blood pressure, heart rate, renal output, reflexes, respiration, etc., in a patient or experimental animal; includes pharmacologic monitoring, the measurement of administered drugs or their metabolites in the blood, tissues, or urine. Patient Monitoring,Monitoring, Physiological,Physiologic Monitoring,Monitoring, Patient,Physiological Monitoring
D010101 Oxygen Consumption The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body. (Stedman, 25th ed, p346) Consumption, Oxygen,Consumptions, Oxygen,Oxygen Consumptions
D012121 Respiration, Artificial Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).
