Thus, metabolic monitor manufacturers are free to promote their own hardware designs, which have the sole purpose to obtain the best estimation of the VO 2 and VCO 2 averages.
Currently most of the commercial metabolic monitors in use are open circuit systems with the capability to perform IC studies in the range of 15—20 minutes. The REE variation has been reported as inter-subject or intra-subject variability despite following the clinical guide for standardizing IC studies. The second assumption is that the IC studies in non-steady state, as part of the clinical routine, are accountable for the high variability in the REE estimation Wessel et al. Observations, such as those previously mentioned, have triggered our main assumption that the VO 2 and VCO 2 variability analysis can help to understand the variation in the REE estimation.
Specifically, variances were used with the MC technique and power spectrum functions in the 0—0. The gas exchange in the first method was sampled every 20 seconds while the gas exchange in the second technique was sampled breath by breath in order to generate a stochastic process measurement as a manner of a discrete time series. Both gas exchanges were measured in two consecutive 15 minute windows in order to obtain enough data to measure trends and to have high frequency resolution when exploring cyclical rhythms.
A hybrid calorimeter with the MC and the BbB techniques was applied to compare inter-individual variability changes during the COM stages. The inter-subject variabilities analysis by power spectrums in the 0—0. The averaged power spectrum functions vVO2 f in graph a and the function vVCO2 f in graph b show a cyclic rhythm at 0. Here, it is noteworthy that the band definition for the variabilities was analogous to how the heart rate variability is analysed with the purpose to facilitate their physiological interpretation Task Force of the European Society of Cardiology The Figure 1 clearly shows that the vVO2 f and vVCO2 f have an unexpected cyclic rhythm energy with central frequency at 0.
A comparative analysis for the variability energies as a consequence of the COM application is shown in the Table 1. The inter-subject total energy increments by frequency bands. Variances are for the MC while total energies are for the BbB techniques during the application of the clino-orthostatic maneuver. The statistical differences analysis was based on the Welch t -test for unequal variances.
The variabilities are defined in terms of the MC and BbB techniques. The discrete gas exchange is defined at the mouth level as VO2[n] and VCO2[n] such that they include their own variabilities. Although all computed averages in Table 2 show independent significant statistical differences due to the COM, the Figure 4 shows no differences between the IC techniques.
Comparative analysis of averages between techniques. The graphs a and b do not show statistical differences between computed averages for both IC techniques. In view of the results, the hypothesis is proved in the sense that it is necessary to analyze the VO 2 and VCO 2 variabilities in order to understand the causes of variations in the REE estimation. These unchanged variances lead to the interpretation that the MC technique is a better method to perform IC studies with patients in steady and non-steady state since the REE is much less affected by the VO 2 and VCO 2 variabilities.
The MC technique works as a low pass filter such that it suppresses the high frequencies of the variabilities generating more adequacies to measure the averages of the VO 2 and VCO 2. Additionally, this result can be interpreted as the MC technique having the right sensitivity to faithfully follow any physiological low frequency change that affects the VO 2 and VCO 2 averages Bruce These outcomes lead us to understand why the old instrument Delta Track II Datex Finland has been accepted as the reference instrument when new metabolic monitors are compared against its performance, mainly during IC studies in critical care patients.
It is clear that the canopy in the Delta Track II performs as an open circuit MC technique with the capability to reject high frequency variabilities. On the other hand, the power spectrum functions in Figure 1 show how IC studies in steady or non-steady state can be separated using their energy computation. This is an improvement over only using the traditional concept of CV.
In addition, the cyclical rhythms found at 0. Although this finding can be used as new physiological control information, the interpretation of its origins needs more research work.
One first approach was carried out by dividing the energy of the vVO2 f and vVCO2 f in frequency bands similarly to the way that heart rate variability HRV is processed; after which, one second step would be to correlate the energy found in LF and MF with the LF energy of the HRV in order to discard whether or not the rhythmicity is due to sympathetic neural control or not Taylor et al.
New and advanced IC metabolic monitors designs should consider the following issues: a the VO 2 and VCO 2 variabilities should be separately measured using the MC and BbB techniques simultaneously in order to carry on IC studies in steady or non-steady state and to distinguish the origin of the variation of the REE estimation. Therefore, both techniques have different effects in the REE estimation. This model for the MC and BbB techniques considers a discrete gas exchange at the input of the mouth VO2 [ n ] and VCO2 [ n ] in which the variabilities are implicitly included before they are separately measured.
The model in Figure 5 explains how the discrete gas exchange is formed at the alveolar level. The alveoli gas exchange model. The alveolar discrete gas exchange is modelled in Figure 5. Then a discrete gas exchange VO2 [ n ] and VCO2 [ n ] is generated when the breath by breath instant flow f t works as a sampling function as in Equations 1 and 2. These volumes are computed as in Equations 3 and 4. The g t — D n are continuous gate functions with the same time duration D 1 , D 2 ,..
Figure 6 shows a real example how gas fractions signals and the expired instant flow signal are synchronized to compute each VO2 [ Dn ] and VCO2 [ Dn ]. Gas exchange fractions and instant flow signals.
The constant millisecond time delay is considered in order to synchronize the computation for each VO2 [ Dn ] and VCO2 [ Dn ] and the corresponding time series generation. The constant time delay of msec in Figure 6 is for the synchronization between the instantaneous flow f t and the time gas fraction signals FEO2 t and FECO2 t.
The hybrid calorimeter with the open pneumatic circuit is sketched in Figure 9. A block diagram of the hybrid calorimeter MGM-3 is shown.
The MC section is outlined in dotted lines and the blue blocks point out the BbB pneumatic open circuit section. The PC is a dedicated computer to obtain real time data from the flow meter, the O 2 and CO 2 sensors. A linear data interpolation function was used to reformat the discrete time series VO2 [ n ] and VCO2 [ n ]. Then, one sample per second was used to resample the reformatted discrete time series in order to obtain a frequency domain analysis in the range of 0.
The processing window was selected to capture at least 15 minutes of data so that a Welch power spectrum estimator allowed a maximum resolution of 0. A subject underwent the clino-orthostatic maneuver. Graph a shows the vVO2 f outlined in black that corresponds to the clino stage. The power spectrum function outlined in gray corresponds to the orthostatic stage.
