Energy Expenditure in ICU Patients Using Predictive Formulas and Various Body Weights Versus Indirect Calorimetry

NCT02552446 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 87

Last updated 2015-09-17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Indirect calorimetry is the gold standard to measure energy expenditure. In fact it is not always available and inconstantly feasible. Various equations for predicting energy expenditure based on body weights have been created. This study aims at determining the best suitable predictive strategy unless indirect calorimetry is available.
