Exam Preview for 1353: Metabolic Measurement Using Indirect Calorim

Metabolic Measurement Using Indirect Calorimetry In Mechanical Ventilation

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. The metabolic rate is measured by: MIP Indirect calorimetry Hemodynamic monitoring Acid base and CO2
2. Indirect calorimetric measurements are used to determine: Both BUN and Creatinine Only RQ Only REE Both RQ and REE
3. What is the importance of RQ and REE? The measure of RQ and REE are used to meet the nutritional needs for patients on room to increase their VCO2 The measurement of RQ and REE are used to design nutritional regiments to reduce VCO2 in patients with COPD and mechanically ventilated patients The measurement of RQ and REE are used to meet the TPN needs of patients with tracheostomies The measurement of RQ and REE are used to meet the hydration status of patients with the flu who are on oxygen
4. What are the objectives of using metabolic measurements using indirect calorimetry? Describe the REE in mechanically ventilated patients in order to guide proper nutritional support Discuss RQ in order to be able to tailor nutrition to the needs of the patient Describe the O2 cost of breathing for use as a ventilator mode selection guide All of the above
5. What causes an increase in RQ and VCO2 values? Hyperventilation Increased carbohydrates Metabolic acidosis All of the above
