U.S., Sept. 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07839468) titled 'Patients' Experiences of Calorimetry Measurements' on Sept. 10.
Brief Summary: A severe burn injury affects not only the skin but also how the body uses energy. Many patients have increased energy needs during recovery, and healthcare professionals use a method called indirect calorimetry to measure the body's energy expenditure and help provide appropriate nutritional treatment.
