Formula idea for cardiology - VO2
Hi, great app! One suggestion:
The Fick cardiac output is currently calculated with an assumed/entered VO2 numerator. Many cardiologists use the LaFarge formula & BSA to estimate VO2; this would be a helpful added calculator to have.
LaFarge:
Males: VO2/BSA (mL/min/m2) = 138.1 − (11.49× ln age) + (0.378×HR)
Females: VO2/BSA (mL/min/m2) = 138.1 − (17.04× ln age) + (0.378×HR)
BSA best estimated by Mosteller equation which is already in MedCalc.
Thanks!
