Gas exchange during mechanical ventilation.
Abstract
In an experimental model using a Servo-ventilator (Siemens-Elema, Sweden) oxygen consumption (V'O2) and carbon dioxide production (V'CO2) were measured at varying FIO2. Gas exchange was simulated by adding N2 or CO2 to the inspiratory line of the ventilator. Inspiratory and expiratory gases were collected in Douglas bags for analyses by a mass spectrometer. The residual standard deviation for the regression of measured V'O2 on predicted V'O2 was 14 ml/min and did not significantly differ from the line of identity. For V'CO2 the corresponding residual standard deviation was 3 ml/min. This regression line deviated by -3% from the line of identity.
