Indirect calorimetry with the ventilated-hood open circuit is a useful and accurate technique to measure energy expenditure in acutely ill patients. This approach should be useful to evaluate the energy and the nutrient needs of a patient under acute conditions. The measurement of energy expenditure is of obvious importance in assessing protein-calorie malnutrition. A better understanding of energy balance and nitrogen balance in critically ill patients is needed to determine the best caloric and nutrient intake to avoid tissue depletion. It is foreseen that this method will become more widely used when reliable equipment is made available.
使用通风罩开路的间接量热法是测量急性病患者能量消耗的一种有用且准确的技术。这种方法对于评估急性病患者的能量和营养需求应该是有用的。能量消耗的测量在评估蛋白质 - 热量营养不良方面显然很重要。需要更好地了解危重病患者的能量平衡和氮平衡，以确定最佳的热量和营养摄入量，避免组织消耗。可以预见，当有可靠的设备时，这种方法将得到更广泛的应用。
