| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hypothermia therapy has been thought to be effective for various cerebral injuries in children. Much of the nutritional management under hypothermia therapy is based on empirical rules. It is needed that the method of objective evaluation establishes. In three cases which treated by hypothermia therapy, we measured the prescription necessary energy amount using an indirect calorimeter. The volume of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production were measured by each tenses (cooling period, during rewarming period, and after rewarming). We calculated resting energy expenditure (REE) using method of Weir. As a result, REE in cooling period was decreased 46.1-82.2% than that in after rewarming.
