[Determinations by indirect calorimetry need not be expensive and technically complicated. A new measurement system and its validation].
Presentation of a newly conceived measuring instrument to determine the energy expenditure of critically ill patients at the bedside by means of indirect calorimetry. The special advantages of the measuring instruments are easy handling, little maintenance and very low working expenses and prime costs. The accuracy of measurement is considerable nd is comparable with that of other measuring methods, as has been established by an extensive validation.
