In order to measure the metabolic parameters VO2 and VCO2, it is necessary to accurately determine the concentrations of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide in expired air samples. A gas mixing chamber is required to overcome any breath-by-breath and intra-breath fluctuations in these gasses.
The ADInstruments Exercise Physiology System is supplied with a Gas Mixing Chamber to ensure that expired gases are thoroughly mixed prior to being sampled by the Gas Analyzer . These are used during exercise studies to determine metabolic parameters.
