BACKGROUND: Accurate measurement of carbon dioxide elimination ((V) over dot(CO2)) and oxygen consumption ((V) over dot(O2)) at the bedside may help titrate nutritional and respiratory support in mechanically ventilated patients. Continuous (V) over dot(CO2) monitoring is now available with many ventilators. However, because normative data are sparsely available in the literature, we aimed to describe the range of (V) over dot(CO2) and (V) over dot(O2) values observed in mechanically ventilated children. We also aimed to examine the characteristics of (V) over dot(CO2) values that are associated with standard steady state (5-min period when (V) over dot(CO2) and (V) over dot(O2) variability are < 10%). METHODS: Mechanically ventilated patients who underwent indirect calorimetry testing were eligible for inclusion, and subjects who achieved standard steady state were included. Normalized (V) over dot(CO2) and (V) over dot(O2) values (mL/kg/min) were modeled against subject height, and correlation coefficients were computed to quantify the goodness of fit. A steady-state definition using only (V) over dot(CO2) was developed ((V) over dot(CO2) variability of < 5% for a 5-min period) and tested against standard steady state using sensitivity and specificity. RESULTS: Steady-state data from 87 indirect calorimetry tests (in 70 subjects) were included. For age groups < 0.5, 0.5-8, and > 8 y, the mean (V) over dot(CO2) values were 7.6, 5.8, and 3.5 mL/kg/min. Normalized (V) over dot(CO2) and (V) over dot(CO2) values were inversely related to subject height and age. The relationships between normalized gas exchange values and height were demonstrated by the models: (V) over dot(CO2) = 115 x (height in cm)(-0.71) (R = 0.61, P
