Description

Takemae et al reported an equation for estimating the resting energy expenditure of a septic patient in Japan. The authors are from Gunma University Hospital, Saitama Red Cross Hospital, Hotakakai Hotaka Hospital and Gunma University in Japan.


Patient selection: Japanese patient who is septic, age >= 18 years

 

Parameters:

(1) sex of the patient

(2) body weight in kilograms

(3) height in centimeters

(4) age in years

 

BMR for a male in kcal per day =

= (8.6 * (weight)) + (5 * (height)) - (3.5 * (age)) - 122.7

 

BMR for a female in kcal per day =

= (6.6 * (weight)) + (4.4 * (height)) + (0.78 * (age)) - 190.6

 

resting energy expenditure in kcal per day =

= (BMR) * 1.4

 

where:

1.4 is the stress factor for sepsis.
