A new study was published this month on the Research in Sports Medicine Journal with a validation of Quark CPET with Mixing Chamber versus the Douglas Bag method.
The measurement of Resting Metabolic Rate using the Fitmate with a ventilated canopy hood was validated by a study presented during the 2012 ACSM Annual Meeting.
This study was undertaken to determine the impact of patients’early in-ICU energy balance on the pathogens responsible for ventilator-associated pneumonia.
This study proves that accurate measurement of the REE in underweight anorexia nervosa patients is clinically useful, overcoming the limits of predictive formulas.
A new study examines the role of indirect calorimetry in ventilated ICU patients as an important clinical tool compared to daily estimated energy requirements predicted by the Schofield equation.
The COSMED Quark RMR with the ICU option has been recently assessed to be a suitable indirect calorimeter to be coupled with a mechanical ventilator in an intensive care unit setting.
In der sechsten Ausgabe des “European Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism” wurde eine neue Validierungsstudie des “Centre de Recherche en Nutrition Humaine Rhône-Alpes” (CRNHR) veröffentlicht.
In this study the measurements of two different indirect calorimeters from COSMED (Fitmate and Quark RMR) were correlated and analysed for better adequacy.
