Ventilator-derived carbon dioxide production to assess energy expenditure in critically ill patients: proof of concept

Abstract

Mean temperature during the 24-h study period Tmax: Maximum body temperature during the 24-h study period VCO2 : carbon dioxide production Ve: Mean minute ventilation during the 24-h study period VO2 : oxygen consumption Declarations Acknowledgements We thank Ronald Driessen of the Department of Adult Intensive Care Medicine at VU University Medical Center for his contribution.
