Are any of these units that would have to switch if we switch from metric
to imperial? Obviously the partial pressures stay in bar. I think this is
all fine, but something to make sure that we keep in mind.

Also, as far as metabolic rate is concerned, the metric unit is
universally accepted. In imperial units, metabolic rate is often
calculated technically as MET (metabolic equivalent), but <span
class="st">1 <em>MET</em> = 3.5 ml O2/kg/min, which brings us
back to the metric unit. The unit of ml O2/kg/min is referred to
as the VO2. I have never seen VO2 expressed in imperial measures,
principally because there is not a direct and scale-equivalent
analog of ml in imperial units (cu ft is not useful here). There
is a reasonable explanation in the Wikipedia articles on VO2. and
MET. <br>

Overall, I think we are reasonably safe.<br>
