Abstract
Measurement of energy expenditure is important in order to determine basal metabolic rate and inform energy prescription provided Indirect calorimetry is the reference standard and clinically recommended means to measure energy expenditure This article reviews the historical development, technical, and logistic challenges of indirect calorimetry measurement, and provides case examples for practicing clinicians Formulae to estimate energy expenditure are highly inaccurate and reinforce the role of the indirect calorimetry and the importance of understanding the strength and limitation of the method and its application

Animal and Human Calorimetry

TL;DR: In more, this is the real condition as mentioned in this paper, people will be bored to open the thick book with small words to read, but not a book, it's not fault.

Energy Delivery Guided by Indirect Calorimetry in Critically Ill Patients: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, indirect calorimetry (IC) is used to evaluate the clinical outcomes of an IC-guided nutrition therapy compared to predictive equations strategy in such a patient population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Energy expenditure and indirect calorimetry in critical illness and convalescence: current evidence and practical considerations.

TL;DR: The use of indirect calorimetry is strongly recommended to guide nutrition therapy in critically ill patients, preventing the detrimental effects of under-and over-feeding as discussed by the authors, however, the course of energy expenditure is complex.

New methods for calculating metabolic rate with special reference to protein metabolism.

TL;DR: Several ways in which the calculation of metabolic rate by indirect calorimetry can be simplified are described and how the effect of protein metabolism can be included with a minimum of trouble are shown.

Guidelines for the Provision and Assessment of Nutrition Support Therapy in the Adult Critically Ill Patient: Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) and American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.).

TL;DR: These guidelines offer basic recommendations that are supported by review and analysis of the current literature, other national and international guidelines, and a blend of expert opinion and clinical practicality that are directed toward generalized patient populations.

Towards a molecular understanding of adaptive thermogenesis.

TL;DR: There have been significant advances in understanding the molecular regulation of energy expenditure in mitochondria and the mechanisms of transcriptional control of mitochondrial genes in relation to classical physiological views of adaptive thermogenesis.
