Low Respiratory Quotient Correlates with High Mortality in Patients Undergoing Mechanical Ventilation
2023-01-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Oxygen consumption (VO 2 ), carbon dioxide generation (VCO 2 ), and respiratory quotient (RQ), which is the ratio of VO 2 to VCO 2 , are critical indicators of human metabolism. To seek a link between the patient’s metabolism and pathophysiology of critical illness, we investigated the correlation of these values with mortality in critical care patients. Methods This was a prospective, obser...
