ASSESSMENT OF ENERGY EXPENDITURE AND ENERGY INTAKE IN CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS Energy Expenditure and Intake in Critically Ill Patients
Objective: To measure the energy expenditure (EE) of critically ill patients and to determine the adequacy of energy intake in terms of nitrogen balance. Research Methods & Procedures: Indirect calorimetry was performed in 17 critically ill patients under mechanical ventilation in order to calculate EE, and 24 h urinary nitrogen excretion was determined in order to calculate the nitrogen balanc...
متن کاملNutritional Assessment in Critically Ill Patients
Background: Malnutrition is an important factor in the survival of critically ill patients. The purpose of the present study was to assess the nutritional status of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) on the days of admission and discharge via a detailed nutritional assessment. Methods: Totally, 125 patients were followed up from admission to discharge at 8ICUs in Shiraz, Iran. The patien...
متن کاملResting energy expenditure, calorie and protein consumption in critically ill patients: a retrospective cohort study
BACKGROUND Intense debate exists regarding the optimal energy and protein intake for intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, most studies use predictive equations, demonstrated to be inaccurate to target energy intake. We sought to examine the outcome of a large cohort of ICU patients in relation to the percent of administered calories divided by resting energy expenditure (% AdCal/REE) ob...
متن کامل[Citrulline and arginine kinetics and its value as a prognostic factor in pediatric critically ill patients].
INTRODUCTION Low concentrations of plasma citrulline and arginine have been reported in children under various pathological conditions. HYPOTHESIS Plasma citrulline and arginine levels undergo different kinetics during the early days of critical illness in children according to the severity of symptoms and can be correlated with other clinical and laboratory parameters associated with the SIR...
متن کاملPrognostic value of the indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate in critically ill patients.
OBJECTIVE Measurement of the indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate (ICG-PDR) has been proposed as a clinical tool for the assessment of liver perfusion and function in transplant donors as well as a prognostic marker. In this study, we analyzed the prognostic value of the ICG-PDR in critically ill patients. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING Operative ICU of a university hospital....
