Zusammenfassung
Background: Continuous measurement of energy expenditure (EE) in ventilated, critically ill patients remains a challenge. Indirect calorimetry (IC) represents the gold standard method but is not always available. Practical predictive equations and formulas often lead to a considerable under- or overestimation. Due to the fluctuating energy needs of critically ill patients methods of continuously assessing energy metabolism are needed. The aim of this study was to compare SenseWearPro3 Armband (SWA) to IC and predictive equations in critically ill ventilated patients. Methods: We prospectively included 34 critica…
