U.S., Sept. 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07796698) titled 'Effect of PEEP on Indirect Calorimetry in Critically Ill Patients' on Aug. 25.
Brief Summary: Indirect calorimetry is used in intensive care to measure how much oxygen a patient consumes and how much carbon dioxide is produced. These measurements are used to estimate energy expenditure and help guide nutritional treatment. In mechanically ventilated patients, however, ventilator settings may potentially influence the accuracy of indirect calorimetry.
This study will investigate whether changes in positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), a routinely used ventilator setting, affect measurements obtained by indirect calorimetry in cri...
