Table 37 (Abstract P284). Equations for calculating energy expenditure (EE) and EEVCO2

From: 36th International Symposium on Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine

EE = 1.44 × [3.941 × VO2(ml/min) + 1.11 × VCO2(ml/min)]

Respiratory quotient (RQ) = VCO2/VO2

EEVCO2 = 1.44 × [3.941 × VCO2/RQfixed + 1.11 × VCO2]
