Indirect calorimetry identifies hypermetabolism associated with muscle wasting and increased risk of energy deficit in ICU patients
Persistent hypermetabolism in ICU patients is independently associated with accelerated muscle mass loss. Early identification of hypermetabolic patients using indirect calorimetry may enable targeted nutritional interventions to reduce muscle mass wasting and improve clinical outcomes.
