2. Fick principle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fick_principle

   Developed by Adolf Eugen Fick (1829–1901), the Fick principle has been applied to the measurement of cardiac output. Its underlying principles may also be applied in a variety of clinical situations. In Fick's original method, the "organ" was the entire human body and the marker substance was oxygen. The first published mention was in ...

3. Oxygen balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_balance

   Oxygen balance. Oxygen balance (OB, OB%, or Ω) is an expression that is used to indicate the degree to which an explosive can be oxidized, [1] to determine if an explosive molecule contains enough oxygen to fully oxidize the other atoms in the explosive. For example, fully oxidized carbon forms carbon dioxide, hydrogen forms water, sulfur ...

4. Limiting oxygen concentration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_oxygen_concentration

   The limiting oxygen concentration is shown in the lower right of the diagram. The limiting oxygen concentration (LOC), [1] also known as the minimum oxygen concentration (MOC), [2] is defined as the limiting concentration of oxygen below which combustion is not possible, independent of the concentration of fuel.

5. Alveolar gas equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_gas_equation

   The alveolar gas equation is the method for calculating partial pressure of alveolar oxygen (pAO2). The equation is used in assessing if the lungs are properly transferring oxygen into the blood. The alveolar air equation is not widely used in clinical medicine, probably because of the complicated appearance of its classic forms.

6. Chemical oxygen demand - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_oxygen_demand

   Chemical oxygen demand. In environmental chemistry, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) is an indicative measure of the amount of oxygen that can be consumed by reactions in a measured solution. It is commonly expressed in mass of oxygen consumed over volume of solution, which in SI units is milligrams per liter (mg / L).

7. Streeter–Phelps equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streeter–Phelps_equation

   The Streeter–Phelps equation determines the relation between the dissolved oxygen concentration and the biological oxygen demand over time and is a solution to the linear first order differential equation [1] This differential equation states that the total change in oxygen deficit (D) is equal to the difference between the two rates of ...

8. Fraction of inspired oxygen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction_of_Inspired_Oxygen

   Fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2), correctly denoted with a capital I, [1] is the molar or volumetric fraction of oxygen in the inhaled gas. Medical patients experiencing difficulty breathing are provided with oxygen-enriched air, which means a higher-than-atmospheric FI O 2. Natural air includes 21% oxygen, which is equivalent to FI O 2 of 0.21.

9. Respiratory quotient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_quotient

   Respiratory quotient. The respiratory quotient (RQ or respiratory coefficient) is a dimensionless number used in calculations of basal metabolic rate (BMR) when estimated from carbon dioxide production. It is calculated from the ratio of carbon dioxide produced by the body to oxygen consumed by the body, when the body is in a steady state.
