Tiny tots, big data: new device tracks energy in sick infants
NCT ID NCT07462806
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a device called Q-NRG+ to see if it can accurately measure how much energy critically ill babies under 10 kilograms use. About 80 infants in the pediatric ICU will be observed. The goal is to see if this method works well in very small patients, which could help doctors provide better nutrition and care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Newborns and infants admitted to the PICU with body weight from 0,5 up to 10 kilograms. Either requiring mechanically ventilation, with FiO2 \< 70%, PIP\<30 cmH2O and no leakage in the ventilation system. Or spontaneous breathing patients tolerating measurements with canopy. Exclusion Criteria: In mechanically ventilated patients' unstable ventilation including ventilation settings changed during the last 60 minutes (FiO2 \>70%, PIP\>30 cmH2O, or ventilation system leakage). Patients spontaneous breathing not tolerating measurements with canopy.
