ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

The aim of this investigation was to compare the resting energy expenditure (REE) calculated by the Harris-Benedict equation (REE HB) with the REE measured by indirect calorimetry (REE IC) in critically ill surgical patients under mechanical ventilation.

METHODS:

Thirty patients were included in this work. REE was calculated by the Harris-Benedict equation (REE HB) using real body weight, and it was also measured by indirect calorimetry (REE IC), which was performed for 30 minutes.

RESULTS:

REE HB had significant (p < 0.0005) but low correlation (Spearman r = 0.57) with REE IC, with a mean bias of 12 kcal.d-1 and limits of agreement ranging from - 599.7 to 623.7 kcal.d-1 as detected by the Bland-Altman analysis.

CONCLUSION:

These findings suggest that REE IC seems to be more appropriate than REE HB for accurate measurement of REE in critically ill surgical patients under mechanical ventilation.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar o gasto energético de repouso (GER), calculado pela equação de Harris-Benedict (GER HB) com o GER medido pela calorimetria indireta (GER CI) em pacientes cirúrgicos gravemente enfermos em ventilação mecânica.

MÉTODOS:

Trinta pacientes foram incluídos nesta investigação. O gasto energético de repouso foi calculado pela equação de Harris-Benedict (GER HB) utilizando o peso corporal real e medido pela calorimetria indireta (GER CI). A calorimetria indireta foi realizada durante 30 minutos.

RESULTADOS:

O gasto energético de repouso calculado pela equação de Harris-Benedict mostrou uma correlação significativa (p < 0,0005), porém fraca (Spearman r = 0,57) com GER CI, com um viés médio de 12 kcal.d-1 e os limites de concordância variando de - 599,7 a -623,7 kcal.d-1 como detectados pela análise de Bland-Altman.

CONCLUSÃO:

Estes achados sugerem que a calorimetria indireta parece ser mais apropriada do que a equação de Harris Benedict para a medida exata do GER em pacientes cirúrgicos gravemente enfermos em ventilação mecânica.
