Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To describe the energy expenditure in children with severe sepsis admitted to pediatric intensive care unitTimepoint: Patients will be enrolled within 48 hours of ICU admission and indirect calorimetry will be done for a duration of 30 minutes daily for a period of 7 days—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To determine nitrogen balance using 24 hour urinary nitrogen method in children undergoing indirect calorimetry 2.To ascertain the relationship between measured energy expenditure and clinical severity as measured by PRISM III scoreTimepoint: For the duration of indirect calorimetry measurements—
