Indirect Calorimetry (IC), a measurement of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production to determine energy expenditure, is the gold standard for measuring energy needs and, thereby, prescriptions for nutrition support. IC has evolved from its near-exclusive use in laboratory research to a point-of-care bedside assessment through the development of metabolic cart machines.

In this workshop, you will learn the basics of indirect calorimetry and the modes in which it can be performed based on various clinical scenarios.
You will perform indirect calorimetry assessments, select steady state data, and calibrate devices at the direction of the instructors. Facilitators will be available for questions throughout the group work for real-time feedback.

This workshop will not be recorded.
