We compared the Deltatrac II, the M-COVX, and the Evita 4 metabolic monitoring devices under clinical conditions.A prospective simultaneous clinical comparison was performed in a general intensive care department of a tertiary university hospital in 43 ventilated, critically ill patients. The monitors were compared simultaneously. After 30 min of steady state, oxygen consumption per unit time, carbon...
