A Comparative Analysis of Equations to Estimate Patient Energy Requirements Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Correction of Congenital Heart Disease.

CONCLUSION: In a cohort of pediatric patients with congenital heart disease following CPB, no currently utilized clinical estimation equation reliably estimated REE. Allometric scaling proved inferior in estimating REE in children following CPB. Indirect calorimetry remains the ideal method of determining REE after CPB until nonlinear methods can be derived due to overestimation using linear equations.
