Journal ArticleDOI
Indirect Calorimetry: History, Technology, and Application.
TL;DR: The historical development, technical, and logistic challenges of indirect calorimetry measurement are reviewed, case examples for practicing clinicians are provided, and formulae to estimate energy expenditure are highly inaccurate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury
Haifa Mtaweh,Michael J. Bell +1 more
TL;DR: Refractory intracranial hypertension is treated with high-dose barbiturate therapy to achieve medical burst suppression on electroencephalography and decompressive craniectomy; nevertheless, outcomes after traumatic brain injury continue to show improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review of factors associated with energy expenditure in the critically ill.
Haifa Mtaweh,Maria Jose Soto Aguero,Marla Campbell,Johane P. Allard,Paul B. Pencharz,Eleanor Pullenayegum,Christopher S. Parshuram +6 more
TL;DR: An important interval step in the development of accurate formulae for energy expenditure estimation is a better understanding of relationships between patient and clinical factors and energy expenditure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can Vco2-Based Estimates of Resting Energy Expenditure Replace the Need for Indirect Calorimetry in Critically Ill Children?
Marialena Mouzaki,Steven M. Schwartz,Haifa Mtaweh,Gustavo La Rotta,Kandice Mah,Joann Herridge,Glen S. Van Arsdell,Christopher S. Parshuram,Alejandro A. Floh +8 more
TL;DR: This study validated the accuracy of the VCO2-based equation for estimating REE derived from carbon dioxide production in a population of critically ill children following cardiopulmonary bypass, finding that IC remains the most accurate method to determine the REE of critical ill patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Exploratory Retrospective Study of Factors Affecting Energy Expenditure in Critically Ill Children.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined clinical factors associated with measured energy expenditure (MEE), expressed in kcal/kg/d, in critically ill children, using indirect calorimetry.
