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
