EE: Rest Period Duration (2013)
-
Assessment
How long of a rest period is needed prior to the measurement of RMR in healthy and non-critically ill adults?
-
Conclusion
Based on the evidence reviewed, all studies evaluated showed that resting condition is achieved by the 30th minute of reclined rest, but studies that measured shorter rest periods indicate that resting condition can occur in as little as 20 minutes in many adults. Individuals who move during the rest period do not achieve a resting state by 20 minutes and may not be at complete rest at 30 minutes. Rest periods have primarily been tested in healthy adults; one study tested both healthy adults as well as stable COPD patients and found that 20 minutes was required to achieve rest in both groups.

Grade: I
- Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
- Grade II is Fair;
- Grade III is Limited/Weak;
- Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
- Grade V is Not Assignable.
- High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
- Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
- Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
- Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
- Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.

How long of a rest period is needed prior to the measurement of RMR in healthy and non-critically ill children?-
Conclusion
Based on the evidence reviewed, when a rest period is not given prior to the test, data recorded after the 10th minute of the measurement are not significantly different from data recorded at the 30th minute. RMR values recorded at the 20th minute of the measurement are most indicative of rest in healthy children.
