Resting Energy Needs in Brain Dead Patients

Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki·observational·Posted Oct 7, 2021·Updated Oct 7, 2021

In Brief

An observational study evaluating REE - Resting Energy Expenditure and Transcranial Doppler for Brain Death and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 66 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The study will examine the resting energy need (REE) in patients suffering from brain damage. For the measurement of REE will be used a metabolic computer (which with continuous recording of breath-to-breath volume (Vt), respiratory rate (RR) of ventilation per minute volume (MV) ), of inhaled and exhaled gases (O2 and CO2) has the ability to calculate the values of VO2, VCO2 and with the help of equations the values of REE and RQ.

Interventions

REE - Resting Energy Expenditureother

REEs represent 60-70% of the needs for a sedentary person and 50% of physically active people. For the measurement of REE will be used the metabolic computer (Medical Graphics, Ultima CCM, Minneapolis, USA), which with continuous recording of breath-to-breath volume (Vt), respiratory rate (RR) of ventilation per minute volume (MV) ), of inhaled and exhaled gases (O2 and CO2) has the ability to calculate the values of VO2, VCO2 and with the help of equations the values of REE and RQ. All patients in the study will be monitored with the metabolic computer. Their measurements will be recorded every day during their stay in the ICU.

Transcranial Dopplerother

The measurement of flow velocities in the middle cerebral artery will be done with the transcranial Doppler using a low frequency (2 MHz) ultrasound head. All patients entering the study will be examined with the TCD every day during their stay in the ICU.
