AB One  in  6  children  in  the  United  States  is  obese.1  While  previous  studies  in  adults  have  demonstrated  obesity  as  an  important  comorbid  condition  that  can  complicate  care,  obesity  is  often  underrecognized  and  consequently  overlooked  as  a  comorbidity  in  children.2  An  understanding  of  how  obesity  affects  children  and  their  care  in  the  pediatric  intensive  care  unit  (PICU)  is  essential.
