* Once connected to the patient, VTI - VTE gives the total volume lost per breath. Subtract the machine leak found above and this gives you the patient side leaks (air lost from around the ETT cuff, volume lost to chest tubes, etc)

* FiO2 * FGF = V̇O2
* FiO2 * FGF = V̇O2
* You can calculate the V̇O2 using the Fick equation: <math chem>\ce{\dot VO2} = Q \times\ (C_a\ce{O2} - C_v\ce{O2})</math>, where Q is the cardiac output.
