    AbstractOxygen consumption calculated by the direct Fick method using a Swan-Ganz catheter (D-VO2) and indirect calorimetry using a metabolic computer (ID-VO2), carbon dioxide production calculated by the latter method, and respiratory quotient were determined pre- and postoperatively in 12 patients with acute hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and eight patients with acute ruptured intracranial aneurysm. The mean D-VO2 value was slightly lower than the mean ID-VO2 value, but had a significantly positive correlation. The regression curve was very close to the line of identity. The total metabolic expenditure can be calculated from D-VO2 and daily urinary nitrogen excretion. Direct calorimetry using a Swan-Ganz catheter is a simple method to evaluate metabolic expenditure in acute hemorrhagic cardiovascular disease.
