RESUMO
Objetivo: determinar la variación del gasto energético en reposo (GER), consumo de oxígeno (VO2) y producción de CO2 (VCO2 por calorimetría indirecta (CI) al aplicar tres diferentes niveles de presión positiva al final de la espiración (PEEP) en pacientes con ventilación mecánica controlada por presión. Diseño: estudio prospectivo, longitudinal, experimental y comparativo. Material y método: se incluyeron nueve pacientes con ventilación mecánica controlada por presión internados en la unidad de cuidados intensivos. Se efectuó CIcon el propósito de medir el GER, VO2 y VCO2 así como el volumen minuto (VE) en tres diferentes niveles de PEEP. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó la prueba de la t pareada y Wilcoxon se calcularon los coeficientes de variación de las variables en estudio. Resultados: se observó con el incremento de la PEEP disminución en el GER, VO2 y VCO2 que guarda relación con la disminución del VE y cuyo coeficiente de variación se mantiene alrededor del 6 %. En los tres casos en los que se mantuvo constante el VE durante la CI el coeficiente de variación fue menor de 6%. Conclusiones: la medición del GER por CI es confiable y útil cuando se incrementa la PEEP siempre que se mantenga el VE. El cálculo del cociente respiratorio (QR) en estas circunstancias no es confiable.
Objective: To identify variations during measurements of resting energy expenditure (REE), oxygen consumption (VO2 and CO production (VCO2 by indirect calorimetry (IC) in patients with pressure-controlled ventilation and different levels of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). Design: Prospective and comparative study. Setting: Intensive care unit (ICU) of a university-affiliated hospital. Measurements and Main Results: REE, VO2, and VCO2 were measured by IC in nine patients with pressure- controlled ventilation and different levels of PEEP. Paired t Wilcoxon and coeficient of variation tests for all measurements were carried out. Decrease in REE, VCO2, and VO2 was observed with increments in PEEP, these changes related with a concomitant reduction in VE. Coefficient of variation during IC was above 6%, and was lower in three patients who maintained the same VE throughout the study. Conclusions: Measurement of REE by Ids reliable atvarious levels of PEEP, and it improves if VE remains constant throughout measurement. Respiratory quotient (RQ) in this setting is not accurate.
