ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this study is to compare the resting energy expenditure (REE) obtained by indirect calorimetry (IC) to the REE calculated by predictive equations (Brandi and Liggett) using the oxygen consumption (VO2) obtained by Fick's method in septic patients.

METHODS:

Prospective study in septic patients admitted in an intensive care unit of a university hospital. Fifteen adult patients (11 men and four women) were studied. VO2 measurements were made using a portable metabolic cart connected to a respirator and a pulmonary artery catheter.

RESULTS:

The APACHE II at admission was 22.6±7.2 with a mortality risk of 46.1±27.7 percent. The mean REE obtained by IC and by the Brandi and Liggett equations were 1699±271, 1815±355 and 1361±277 kcal.day-1 respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the two methods, with the two means showing a difference of 8.7 percent. REE values were close for IC x BRANDI (r=0.80), but the IC x LIGGETT correlation was only 0.58.

CONCLUSIONS:

The results suggest that REE can be easily calculated by obtaining VO2 with the Swan-Ganz catheter and using the Brandi equation even for septic patients under mechanical ventilation.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

O objetivo desse estudo foi o de comparar o consumo de oxigênio em repouso (COR) obtido por calorimetria indireta (CI) com valores do COR calculados por equações preditivas (Brandi e Ligget) que utilizam o consumo de oxigênio (VO2) obtido pelo método de Fick em pacientes sépticos. MÉTODOS. Estudo prospectivo em pacientes sépticos internados em unidade de terapia intensiva de um hospital universitário. Quinze pacientes adultos (onze homens e quatro mulheres). As medidas de VO2 foram realizadas usando um aparelho metabólico portátil conectado ao respirador e por cateter em artéria pulmonar.

RESULTADOS:

O índice APACHE II na admissão foi 22.6±7.2 com risco de mortalidade de 46.1±27.7 por cento. As médias do COR obtidas por CI e pelas equações de Brandi and Liggett foram, respectivamente, 1699±271, 1815±355 e 1361±277 kcal.day-1 Não se observaram diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os dois métodos com as duas médias mostrando uma diferenças de 8.7 por cento. Os valores de COR Também foram próximo dos valores de CI x BRANDI (r=0.80), mas a correlação com CI x LIGGETT apenas 0.58.

CONCLUSÕES:

Os resultados sugerem que o COR pode ser facilmente calculado para obter-se o VO2 com o cateter de Swan-Ganz e pelo uso da equação de Brandi para pacientes sépticos em ventilação mecânica.
