I cannot see the following numerical values on vital recorder output captured from GE (Carescape 850, B450) monitors: VO2, VCO2, and REE. A few of my students are conducting studies on indirect calorimetry using the CVXO module. Is there any way we can retrieve these values from the monitors? I really appreciate any help you can provide.

I think the values you are referring to, VO2, VCO2, EE, etc. are values that can be obtained from the anesthesia machine or ventilator, not the patient monitor (GE carescape series are patient monitors, not anesthesia machines). If the anesthesia machine is connected to the patient monitor, you can get the values from the anesthesia machine passed to the patient monitor.
However, since VO2, VCO2, and EE are rarely calculated and provided by the anesthesia machine or ventilator, it would be more appropriate to obtain data such as insp/exp O2/CO2 from the anesthesia machine, then calculate VO2, VCO2, and EE by yourself.
