7.2.4 Naughton protocol
The standard Naughton Protocol (reference 5)
is a two minute incremental test. The test is ex-
tremely similar to the Bruce protocol with two
simple exceptions: the stages are two minutes
in duration instead of three and the incremental
V02 between stages is linear (3.5 ml/kg/min). The
stages represent discrete oxygen consumption le-
vels generally referred to as “METS”.
The operation of the protocol is otherwise identi-
cal to the Bruce protocol.
Performance:
Instruct the subject about the protocol and •
adjust the chest belt for proper heart rate.
Then follow Naughton menu. •
