Burns, Critical Illness, Indirect Calorimetry, Nutrition Disorders, Resting Energy Expenditure

Brief summary

Burn patients treated in an outpatient clinic and ICU survivors are at risk of malnutrition. There are no clear guidelines determining the energy target in those two populations. The aim of this observation study is to measure the resting energy expenditure of those patients, using indirect calorimetry.
