Table A1. Metabolic Parameters - All volumes are adjusted to 37℃, 47 mm Hg water vapour.
Minute Volume (VE) Oxygen Consumption (VO2) Carbon Dioxide Production (VCO2)
35 l/min (20 x 1.75 l/m) 1.58 l/min 1.58 l/min
50 l/min (25 x 2,0 l/min) [3.50] l/min [3.50] l/min
 
Operation: Gas ventilation is achieved through a stepper motor controlled piston programmed to produce the desired sinusoidal waveform. Breathing resistance, wet and dry bulb temperature, and oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration are continuously measured at the mouth during both inhalation and exhalation. Oxygen removal is achieved by continually withdrawing gas from the system through stepper motor controlled needle valve C; the removal rate determined by the average oxygen concentration measured at the mouth. Carbon dioxide production is simulated by injecting carbon dioxide into the system through stepper motor controlled needle valve A at a rate equal to the desired VCO2 plus the amount of CO2 exhausted through valve C. Nitrogen is introduced into the system through stepper motor controlled valve B to replace nitrogen gas exhausted through valve C. Water vapour is derived continuously from fast response wet and dry bulb temperature measurements, calculated within the system software. The lung is heated and humidified to condition the exhaled gas to 37 ℃, 95 to 100% relative humidity.
