Indirect calorimetry is the best measure to guide calorie administration during nutrition support. This article presents an update of the types of currently available indirect calorimeters and reviews the recent advances that guide the clinical application of indirect calorimetry. The emphasis of this report is placed on issues that the practicing clinician can use to evaluate, interpret, and apply measurements of energy expenditure.
