  2. Input and output (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_and_output_(medicine)

    In biology, Input [1] and output [2] (I&O) is the measure of food and fluids that enter and exit the body. Certain patients with the need are placed on I & O, ...

  3. Fluid balance - Wikipedia

    The recommended daily amount of drinking water for humans varies. [1] It depends on activity, age, health, and environment.In the United States, the Adequate Intake for total water, based on median intakes, is 4.0 litres (141 imp fl oz; 135 US fl oz) per day for males older than 18, and 3.0 litres (106 imp fl oz; 101 US fl oz) per day for females over 18; it assumes about 80% from drink and 20 ...

  4. VO2 max - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VO2_max

    Here Q is the cardiac output of the heart, C a O 2 is the arterial oxygen content, and C v O 2 is the venous oxygen content. (C a O 2 – C v O 2) is also known as the arteriovenous oxygen difference. The Fick equation may be used to measure V̇O 2 in critically ill patients, but its usefulness is low even in non-exerted cases. [8]

  6. Check sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_sheet

    When the process distribution is ready to be assessed, the assessor fills out the check sheet's heading and actively observes the process. Each time the process generates an output, he or she assesses the output for defects and marks the section of each view where each is found. If no defects are found for a process output, no check mark is made.

  7. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    The air intake (inlet U.S. [6]) is an aerodynamic duct extending from an entry lip to the engine fan/compressor. For supersonic intakes with variable geometry it is called an intake system, referring to the need for shock-wave and internal duct flow management using variable position surfaces (ramps or cones) and bypass doors. [7]

  8. Cardiac index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_index

    The cardiac index (CI) is a hemodynamic measure that represents the cardiac output (CO) of an individual divided by their body surface area (BSA), expressed in liters per minute per square meter (L/min/m²). This parameter provides a more accurate assessment of heart function relative to the size of the individual, as opposed to absolute ...

  9. Volumetric efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_efficiency

    Volumetric efficiency (VE) in internal combustion engine engineering is defined as the ratio of the equivalent volume of the fresh air drawn into the cylinder during the intake stroke (if the gases were at the reference condition for density) to the volume of the cylinder itself.
