- Abstract
Background. The accurate assessment of resting energy expenditure (REE) is essential for personalized nutrition, particularly in critically ill children. Indirect calorimetry (IC) is the gold standard for measuring REE. This methodology is based on the measurement of oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2). These parameters are integrated into the Weir equation to calculate REE. Additionally, IC facilitates the determination of the respiratory quotient (RQ), offering valuable insights into a patient's carbohydrate and lipid consumption. IC validation is limited to spontaneously breathing and mechanically ventilated patients, but it is not validated in patients undergoing non-invasive ventilation (NIV). This study investigates the application of IC during NIV-CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) and NIV-PS (pressure support). Methods. This study was conducted in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of IRCCS Ca' Granda, Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Milan, between 2019 and 2021. Children < 6 years weaning from NIV were enrolled. IC was performed during spontaneous breathing (SB), NIV-CPAP, and NIV-PS in each patient. A Bland–Altman analysis was employed to compare REE, VO2, VCO2, and RQ measured by IC. Results. Fourteen patients (median age 7 (4; 18) months, median weight 7.7 (5.5; 9.7) kg) were enrolled. The REE, VO2, VCO2, and RQ did not differ significantly between the groups. The Limits of Agreement (LoA) and bias of REE indicated good agreement between SB and NIV-CPAP (LoA +28.2, −19.4 kcal/kg/day; bias +4.4 kcal/kg/day), and between SB and NIV-PS (LoA −22.2, +23.1 kcal/kg/day; bias 0.4 kcal/kg/day). Conclusions. These preliminary findings support the accuracy of IC in children undergoing NIV. Further validation in a larger cohort is warranted.
