Abstract
The energy requirements of surgical patients during intravenous nutrition have been estimated from separate measurements of resting metabolic expenditure, active metabolic expenditure and the increase in energy expenditure that occurs in response to feeding--the specific dynamic action. The results suggest that very few surgical patients will require more than 2000 kcals/day.Entities:
