Korr Provides Solutions for Bariatrics

Bariatrics is the medical specialty dealing with treatment of obesity. The goal of most obesity treatment is to achieve a negative energy balance during weight loss. Since one half of the energy balance equation is energy expenditure, measurement of metabolic rate is vital to the success of treatment.

Negative energy balance means that your patient expends, burns, more calories than he/she consumes. The components of energy expenditure include, resting, activity, and exercise. Resting energy expenditure is by far the largest component of most patients' expenditure profile. The standard applications of resting energy expenditure (REE) measurements in bariatric practice include:

• Establishment of benchmarks to compare your patient’s metabolic rate to predicted normal values as a means of determining if obesity is caused by hypo-metabolism.
• More accurate estimation of activity calories and total metabolic rate.
• Calculation of appropriate caloric intake to achieve a desired caloric deficit and weight loss rate.
• Tracking the change in metabolic rate caused by a prescribed weight-loss regimen.
• Others

The REEVUE by Korr Medical Technologies is an easy to use device that provides an accurate measurement of resting metabolic rate from a 10-minute breathing test.
