Measuring energy expenditure in the intensive care unit: a comparison of indirect calorimetry by E-sCOVX and Quark RMR with Deltatrac II in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients

BACKGROUND: Indirect calorimetry allows the determination of energy expenditure in critically ill patients by measuring oxygen consumption (VO(2)) and carbon dioxide production (VCO(2)). Recent studies have demonstrated variable performance of “breath-by-breath” instruments compared to mixing chambe...
