Abstract
Study objective: To evaluate an equation that estimates resting energy expenditure from two easily obtained measurements-expired carbon diox ide and minute ventilation, and compare the results of this equation w ith standard methods of estimating and measuring caloric expenditure i n mechanically ventilated patients. Design: Prospective evaluation in a consecutive, unselected cohort.
