The Q-NRG metabolic monitor carries out accurate measurements of the energy requirements of ventilated patients. Unlike conventional calorimetry devices, which are difficult to transport, its compact size and low weight facilitate integration into ICU workflows. The monitor is compatible with any ventilator and ready for immediate use. The minimalist control buttons and the touchscreen create a homogeneous overall appearance.
