Does Indirect Calorimetry Reflect Energy Expenditure in the Critically Ill Patient?

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((UICM,volume 17))

Abstract

Energy processes intimately linked to life in all its manifestations. They are essential to perform such diverse functions as to adapt to changes in the environment, to grow, to move and to reproduce. This is also true in healthy humans and during acute illness, where reduced energy production may be related to the fatal autcome.
