Filter by:The overarching aim of this proposal is to examine the feasibility of the Q-NRG+ indirect calorimetry device and its agreement with (Vmax) Encore indirect calorimetry device in mechanically ventilated children. The overall hypothesis of this study is that the Q-NRG+ will provide minute-to-minute oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (CO2) measurements that are in agreement with those obtained by the standard indirect calorimetry device currently used at our institution (Vmax Encore).
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of early exercise by cycle ergometry and early targeted feeding in reducing muscle atrophy and improve functional outcomes in the older critically ill patient.
