Breath-by-breath Volume of Carbon dioxide VCO2 Calculation

The amount of carbon dioxide produced as a result of metabolism in designated as VCO2. It may be reported in mL/min or mL/kg/min. At standard temperature and pressure, the rate at which carbon dioxide enters the alveolar gas from the blood is equal to the metabolic production of carbon dioxide by tissue metabolism in the body. This calculator helps the VCO2 calculation of true Breath-by-Breath systems

Volume of air expired  
Fraction of CO2 in expired air (FECO2)  
Fraction of CO2 in inspired air (FICO2)  
Weight  
VCO2= (mL/min)
VCO2= (mL/kg/min)

 
   
  



Formula Used:

VCO2 (mL/min) = VE (FECO2- FICO2)
VCO2(mL/kg/min) = VCO2 (mL/min)/kg body weight

Variable Definitions:
VCO2 = CO2 exhaled in mL/min
VE = Volume of air expired in mL/min
FECO2 = Fraction of CO2 in expired air
FICO2 = Fraction of CO2 in inspired air
