Effect of neuromuscular blockade on energy expenditure in patients with severe head injury
|
ABSTRACT. Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of neuromuscular blockade on energy expenditure in severely head-injured patients; to determine the effects of body temperature, nutrition support, and morphine use on metabolic rate; and to compare measured energy expenditure with values from predictive equations. Methods: Energy expenditure was measured using indirect calorimetry in 2 groups of ventilated patients-18 with severe head injury during and after administ...

The Use of a Handheld Calorimetry Unit to Estimate Energy Expenditure During Different Physiological Conditions
JPEN, Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition
; ABSTRACT. Background: Accurately determining rates of energy expenditure (EE) under free-living conditions is important in understanding the mechanisms involved in the development and prevention of obesity. Metabolic carts are not portable enough for most free-living situations. The purpose of this

Free-living energy expenditure impacts mortality risk.(Tips)
American Family Physician
; In older adults, higher physical activity level has been associated with a lower mortality risk compared with those who report low physical activity. It is unclear whether this risk reduction can be attributed to free-living activity, because self-reported physical activity is an unreliable measure
