New ICU energy tracker put to the test against gold standard
NCT ID NCT07165080
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new tool called smART+ REE Module to see how well it calculates resting energy expenditure (calories burned at rest) in ICU patients on ventilators. Researchers compared it to an already-approved device (Q-NRG+) in 40 adults. The goal was to check if the new tool is accurate enough for hospital use.

Who is studied
Due to the anticipated dropout rate after one or two measurement rounds, we plan to recruit a minimum of 25 patients and up to 40 patients. Each patient will undergo a maximum of 4 measurement rounds. The study will conclude once 90 measurement rounds have been completed, regardless of the number of patients remaining in the study at that point. All patients enrolled in the study will be mechanically ventilated patients who have already been admitted to the ICU, are eligible for use of the smART+ System and COSMED device, are in a relatively stable condition, and are expected to remain ventilated for at least 24 hours. The study will exclude patients requiring chest drainage, because not all the air exhaled by these patients comes through the ventilator tube (due to the drains collecting air leak), compromising the accuracy of VCO2 measurements.
