The overarching aim of this proposal is to examine the feasibility of the Q-NRG+ indirect calorimetry device and its agreement with (Vmax) Encore indirect calorimetry device in mechanically ventilated children. The overall hypothesis of this study is that the Q-NRG+ will provide minute-to-minute oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (CO2) measurements that are in agreement with those obtained by the standard indirect calorimetry device currently used at our institution (Vmax Encore).
