Caloric delivery will target results of IC measurement.

The prescribed calories to be delivered will be set to target the measurement obtained from performing indirect calorimetry (IC). IC measures the gas exchange of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production to determine the true metabolic needs for cellular respiration. The expenditure of calories will be measured utilizing the gas module incorporated within the General Electric Carescape R860 ventilators.
