Abstract
The intensive care unit is a dynamic setting where critically ill patients receive extensive and constant care. They undergo many clinical and nursing interventions as a part of their routine care. These result in changes in oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production that are accompanied by alterations in the outputs of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. This provides an opportunity to examine the physiological response of critically ill patients to acute increases in oxygen demand. More practically, oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production are frequently measured to calculate energy expenditure for use in planning nutritional regimens. The intrinsic state of the patient (sleeping, resting, moving etc) affects the determination of energy expenditure and must be accounted for.
