Q

indirect calorimetry provides energy expenditure (___, ___) at that ONE point in time, then extrapolated to 24 hrs

29
Q

what is indirect calorimetry? (from internet)

A

Indirect calorimetry is a method used to measure the amount of energy (calories) a person burns by analyzing their oxygen consumption (O2) and carbon dioxide production (CO2)

30
Q

what does the RQ (respiratory quotient) measure?

A

The ratio of CO2 produced to O2 consumed (Vco2/Vo2)

31
Q

goal range for RQ

32
Q

how often should RQ be monitored?

A

once weekly

33
Q

RQ > 0.95 indicates __________

a. underfeeding
b. overfeeding

b. overfeeding

Q

RQ < 0.85 indicates __________

a. underfeeding
b. overfeeding

A

a. underfeeding

35
Q

37 YOM burn pt has been on EN for 6 days (providing 1800 kcal/day). Their indirect calorimetry report shows an REE of 1950 and an RQ of 0.74. Calculate TEE, and what recommendations would you make?

A

TEE = 1950 * 1.2 = 2340 kcal/day
RQ 0.74 -> underfeeding

He is receiving 1800 kcal/day and needs 2340 kcal/day. RQ is low indicating he is being underfed. Increase the rate of his EN to provide more calories

A

during sepsis or bloodstream infections (don’t want to put fat into their bloodstream)

39
Q

the process of supplying nutrients via an intravenous delivery system (i.e. protein, carbohydrates, fat, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals)
