Study Summary

Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are naturally-occurring isotopes that are found in exhaled breath. Investigators have proved that the 13CO2/12CO2 breath delta value (BDV) changes in subjects who were in negative energy balance then fed a positive energy balance meal. Measuring one liter of exhaled breath daily may be a more convenient way to measure negative or positive energy balance in patients receiving intravenous nutrition.

Primary Outcome

Investigators will test if the breath delta value (kJ) increases in subjects from baseline (pre-parenteral nutrition) to the subject's goal calculated rate. The time frame tested for each subject will be from baseline to 7 days or the length of parenteral nutrition (whichever is shorter.) Investigators will recruit 20 patients, and this may take 6 months to accomplish. This is a pilot investigation.
