Dr. Cathy Alberda, Clinical Nutrition Program Lead at Royal Alexandra Hospital, explains how the device helps clinicians tailor nutrition needs of both ventilated and non-ventilated patients by measuring oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in a patient’s breath to determine their Resting Energy Expenditure (REE).

Andrea Devecchi, 30, food science and nutrition specialist at Sperino Hospital in Torino (Italy), explains why Indirect Calorimetry is so important in ICU to provide the correct nutritional support on Covid patients.

The New Generation of Metabolic Monitors for Indirect Calorimetry in Clinical Practice and Critical Care.

Q-NRG is a unique product, resulting from COSMED’s collaboration with world-class institutes in the field of nutrition support in intensive care units. This collaboration has made possible the development of an accurate metabolic system simple to use and at the same time resolving all typical pitfalls of indirect calorimetry technology (no warm-up time, no gas calibrations, etc.). Q-NRG is the ultimate tool to develop individual nutrition support plans and optimize them to improve glycemic control, to reduce length of stay and, ultimately, to decrease costs in the Intensive Care Unit.
