Abstract

The energy expenditure of the critically ill patient is influenced by many factors, thus making it difficult to predict. Measurement of energy expenditure in mechanically ventilated patients receiving elevated oxygen concentrations requires a good understanding of the measurement technique and its limitations, whether it be the gas exchange or Fick method. More investigation is needed to better understand the determinants of energy expenditure, as well as the total energy requirements of the critically ill patient.
