Changes in the inspiratory flow rate of mechanically ventilated patients can affect arterial oxygenation. Although the mechanism producing this alteration is not certain, one possible mechanism is a change in ventilation inhomogeneity. This study was performed to determine if the inspiratory flow se
**Summary** We measured oxygen consumption using a new noninvasive modular metabolic monitor, MβCOVXβ’, in ventilated critically ill patients. Oxygen consumption was measured continuously as part of routine monitoring for up to 24βh following mechanical ventilation in 27 patients admitted to a genera
