VO2max from Fick Method Calculator

Estimate VO2max from maximal cardiac output and arteriovenous oxygen difference using the Fick equation. Validate lab-based VO2max measurements

Each component has a specific meaning:

• Maximal cardiac output — The maximal cardiac output recorded for the scenario being assessed.
• Arteriovenous oxygen difference — The arteriovenous oxygen difference recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the vo2max (fick method) result against the thresholds and context described above.

Enter the maximal cardiac output, arteriovenous oxygen difference for the scenario you are assessing. Estimate VO2max from maximal cardiac output and arteriovenous oxygen difference using the Fick equation. Validate lab-based VO2max measurements. Use the vo2max (fick method) result to inform your calculation.
