What does this LOINC code represent?

This LOINC code identifies a lab observation, measurement, question, or clinical concept in a standardized format.

Is this enough to understand my test result?

No. The code identifies the test or observation, but the interpretation depends on the actual result, reference range, and clinical context.

What it does not mean

The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

Expired minute volume/Carbon dioxide production during exercise

Volume.expired per minute/Carbon dioxide production^W exercise

The ventilatory efficiency slope is calculated as the ratio of minute ventilation to carbon dioxide production. It is correlated with disease severity for various cardiopulmonary conditions, including pediatric pulmonary hypertension and adult heart failure. PMID24144928
