Recent trials have questioned the benefit of early parenteral nutrition in adults. The effect on clinical outcomes critically ill children is unclear.We conducted a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial involving 1440 to investigate whether withholding for 1 week (i.e., providing late nutrition) pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) clinically superior nutrition. Fluid loading was similar two groups. primary end points were new infection acquired during ICU stay and adjusted duration...
Objective: To assess current nutritional practices in critically ill children worldwide. Design: A two-part online, international survey. The first part, "the survey", was composed of 59 questions regarding strategies and protocols (July–November 2013). second part surveyed the "point prevalence" data patients present a subgroup responding PICUs (May–September 2014). Setting: Members World Federation Pediatric Intensive Critical Care Societies were asked to complete Subjects: critical care...
The state-of-the-art nutrition used for critically ill children is based essentially on expert opinion and extrapolations from adult studies or in non-critically children. In adults, withholding parenteral (PN) during the first week ICU improved outcome, as compared with early supplementation of insufficient enteral (EN) PN. We hypothesized that PN critical illness reduces incidence new infections accelerates recovery. Pediatric Early versus Late Parenteral Nutrition Intensive Care Unit...
