Trial summary

Dosing of nutrition in PICUs is mainly based on patient weight and assumptions on clinical status. There is however poor correlation between these calculations and actual energy consumption measured with indirect calorimetry (IC). Read more about this study

About this study

Dosing of nutrition in PICUs is mainly based on patient weight and assumptions on clinical status. There is however poor correlation between these calculations and actual energy consumption measured with indirect calorimetry (IC). Available equipment for IC has however been too cumbersome to use in daily clinical practice. Of relative new date is IC integrated in modern ventilators. This functionality is easy to use, but we do not know if the results are reliable for children. This study is a method comparison study comparing measurements done with SensorMedics Vmax ("gold standard") vs GE Carescape (modern ventilator with Integrated IC) in children undergoing intensive care treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. MEE (measured energy expenditure) kcal/kg/day, RQ (respiratory quotient)

    Comparison of measurements made by two different instruments

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Nutrition Assessment and Critical Illness, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Equipment failure). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MEE (measured energy expenditure) kcal/kg/day, RQ (respiratory quotient) (time frame: 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Feb 2020.
