Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...in Percentage Remarks The average amount of oxygen used per minute is now determined. This figure is now corrected for temperature, the temperature being noted on the thermometer inside the oxygen chamber. With this apparatus corrections for temperature of the gas are easily made. There is a special scale for the volume and "this scale is graduated so that the equivalent volume of gas at 0C. is read directly from the scale at 19, 20, or 21 C." The corrections for volumes read at the temperatures commonly used are as follows: Degrees Centigrade Volume Corrections 16, 17, 18 Add 1% 19, 20, 21 No correction 22, 23, 24, 25 Subtract 1% This figure is then corrected for barometric pressure. When the barometer readings are near 760 mm. the corrections may be made by subtracting 1% for each 10 mm. below 760, or adding 1% for each 10 mm. above 760. This now gives the average amount of oxygen consumed per minute at 0 Centigrade and at 760 mm. barometric pressure. Now find what the normal consumption is for this patient's weight and height by referring to the table on page 242 being sure to make the corrections of the figures in the table for age and sex on page 241. The difference between this figure and the actual amount consumed by the patient shows whether the rate is above or below normal. The difference is divided by the normal consumption and the result is the percentage above or below normal or the metabolic rate. The simplified method of computations that is used with this apparatus reduces the time of computations to less than 5 minutes, and, as I pointed out at the beginning of this article, the results found by use of this apparatus check within clinical requirements.
