Indirect Calorimetry in Patients at Risk of Malnutrition

June 25, 2023 updated by: Anne-Françoise Rousseau, University of Liege

Measurement of Resting Energy Expenditure in Burn or Critically Ill Patients at Risk of Malnutrition

Burn patients treated in an outpatient clinic and ICU survivors are at risk of malnutrition. There are no clear guidelines determining the energy target in those two populations. The aim of this observation study is to measure the resting energy expenditure of those patients, using indirect calorimetry.
