The metabolic rates of tissues dictate the amount of oxygen that must be picked up within the lungs. Oxygen uptake ( 11ea4b05_ea59_931b_ab93_f3341479299c_TB4069_11 O₂) is a respiratory factor that can be measured in the laboratory or at the bedside. Nutritionally speaking, it is this measure that indicates the patient's energy requirement. If 11ea4b05_ea59_931c_ab93_3fd29b5ddf5c_TB4069_11 O₂ is measured while a person is in a resting, nonstressed state, the basal metabolic rate (BMR) or basal energy expenditure (BEE) can be calculated.
