A basic formulation of methods of obtaining oxygen consumption data from measurements of oxygen partial pressure in open and closed-circuit systems is made. For open-circuit systems used in the steady state, equations are given and discussed for the following cases in which the stated variables are measured: 1) inlet air volume and Po2, and outlet air Po2; 2) inlet air volume and Po2, and CO2 free outlet air Po2; 3) outlet air volume and Po2, and inlet air Po2; 4) CO2 free outlet air volume and Po2, and inlet air Po2. An approximate equation has been obtained for an open-circuit system used under nonsteady state conditions for the special case of a metabolism chamber of large volume. A constant volume, closed-circuit system having a very small lag is also described in detail and data are provided to illustrate its time response and to show that the system yields true values of oxygen consumption.
