Summary

Patient nutritional needs vary depending on several factors including age, sex, height, weight, injury and co-morbidities. Since injury affects energy expenditure in patients, this must be taken into account when assessing nutritional requirements. Indirect calorimetry will be used to measure energy expenditure of patients with decubitus ulcers of varying degrees. The primary objective of this study is to determine the effects of wound volume on metabolic rate and compare this to predictive equations used for estimating energy requirements.
