In this new review, the authors identify the pros and cons of Indirect Calorimetry (IC) to estimate Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) and define individual nutritional energy targets among critically ill patients. 

The 2018 ESICM (European Society of Intensive Care Medicine) Congress will host a Satellite Symposium sponsored by COSMED dedicated to indirect calorimetry in critically ill patients, including an introduction of the main breakthroughs of the new Q-NRG metabolic monitor.

Rome (Italy) - June 2018 - The 2018 ESPEN (European Society Parenteral & Enteral Nutrition) Congress will host a Satellite Symposium sponsored by COSMED dedicated to indirect calorimetry in critically ill patients, including an introduction of the main breakthroughs of the new Q-NRG metabolic monitor.

This study, published in the Clinical Nutrition Journal, tries to show how abnormal basal energy metabolism can be associated with higher risk in anticancer treatments (like chemotherapy).
