PY - 2015 T2 - Pediatric Critical Care Nutrition AB - The prevalence of both acute and chronic malnutrition in the critically ill child continues to be documented.1 Vigilant nutrition screening to assess for malnutrition and the development of an appropriate nutrition prescription are important goals for nutrition support in the critically ill child.2 During critical illness, energy and macronutrient utilization is altered, resulting in glucose and lipid intolerance, as well as altered protein metabolism, making the design of appropriate nutrition support a challenge.3 Other barriers to nutrition delivery also commonly exist during critical illness, including fluid restrictions, interruptions in the advancement of nutrition support due to procedures, and the inability to obtain dedicated venous or enteral access.4 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/19 UR - accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1105178914 ER -
