Overview

The authors discuss basic problems associated with assessment of the metabolic situation in critically illchildren. Most recent and most objective information on the metabolic situation are the baseline for optimal intakeof utilizable sources of energy. The supply of an optimal amount of utilizable energy sources is the crucial issuefor the survival of sick children with protracted stress during emergency care. The optimal source of objectiveinformation on the metabolic situation of critically ill children is indirect calorimetry.

Key words:
