The blood sugar concentration, or blood glucose level, is the amount of glucose (sugar) present in the blood of a human or animal.
Keywords:
Cardiac Output
Wolfram Research
Cardiac output is a term used in cardiac physiology that describes the volume of blood being pumped by the heart, in particular by the left or right ventricle, per unit time.

Concentration of Oxygen in Blood
Wolfram Research
Oxygen saturation is a relative measure of the concentration of oxygen that is dissolved or carried in a given medium as a proportion of the maximal concentration that can be dissolved in that medium.

Corrected QT Interval Using RR Interval
Wolfram Research
The QT interval is a measure of the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle. It can be corrected for heart rate for improved detection of patients at increased ri...

Free Water Deficit
Wolfram Research
Body water is the water content of an animal body that is contained in the tissues, the blood, the bones and elsewhere. The percentages of body water contained in various fluid compartments add up to total body water.

IV Infusion Rate
Wolfram Research
Intravenous therapy is the infusion of liquid substances directly into a vein. The infusion rate is the rate at which a solution is administered to the patient.
Keywords:
Negative Predictive Value
Wolfram Research
The negative predictive value is the proportion of negative results in statistics and diagnostic tests that are true negative results.
Keywords:
Oxygen Delivery Using Heart Rate
Wolfram Research
Oxygen delivery describes the amount of oxygen being distributed through the blood based on arterial oxygen content and the cardiac output.

Wolfram Research
Oxygen delivery describes the amount of oxygen being distributed through the blood based on arterial oxygen content and the cardiac output.
Keywords:
Oxygenation Index
Wolfram Research
The oxygenation index is a calculation used in intensive care medicine to measure the fraction of inspired oxygen and its usage within the body.
Keywords:
Positive Predictive Value
Wolfram Research
The positive predictive value is the proportion of positive results in statistics and diagnostic tests that are true positive results.
Keywords:
Prevalence
Wolfram Research
Prevalence is the true proportion of a disease in a population.
Keywords:
Renal Failure Index
Wolfram Research
The renal failure index is used to differentiate between renal and pre-renal acute renal failure.
Keywords:
Respiratory Quotient
Wolfram Research
The respiratory quotient is a dimensionless number used in calculations of basal metabolic rate when estimated from carbon dioxide production. It is calculated from the ratio of carbon dioxide produced by the body to ...

Sensitivity
Wolfram Research
Sensitivity (also called the true positives rate) measures the proportion of positives that are correctly identified as such (i.e. the percentage of healthy people who are correctly identified as having the condition).
