Article Title: Indirect calorimetry in the mechanically ventilated patient
Abstract: We used indirect calorimetry to measure oxygen consumption (V̇O2) and carbon dioxide production in 29 mechanically ventilated patients. These data were compared to V̇O2 measured simultaneously by a standard thermodilution technique. A good correlation was demonstrated between the methods, but V̇O2 measured by indirect calorimetry was 15% higher than V̇O2 measured by thermodilution.
