Respiratory Quotient –
ASA Classification –
RQ >1 = lipogenesis (overfeeding):
1 – Healthy
5 – Moribund o CO2 buildup & difficulty weaning from vent
2 – Mild disease w/o limitation
6 – Donor RQ <0.7 = ketosis & fat oxidation (starving)
3 – Severe disease
E – Emergency Pure fat utilization RQ = 0.7
4 – Severe constant threat to life
Pure protein utilization RQ = 0.8
Pure carbohydrate utilization RQ = 1.0

Ideal Body Weight:
o Men = 106 lbs + 6 lbs for every in. over 5 ft
o Women = 100 lbs + 5 lbs for every in. over 5 ft
Nitrogen Balance = ([protein/6.25] – [24 h urine N + 4])
CO = HR x SV
SV (stroke volume) = EDV - ESV
MAP = CO X SVR
CI = CO/BSA
Arterial O2 Content (CaO2)= (Hgb x 1.34 x SpO2) + (PO2 x 0.003)
O2 Delivery = CO x CaO2
O2 Consumption (VO2) = CO x (CaO2 – CvO2)
Compliance = (∆Volume)/(∆Pressure)
