Indirect calorimetry (IC) is considered the gold standard to determine resting energy expenditure (REE) but its availability in PICUs worldwide is limited. Ventilator-derived VCO2 could potentially improve the possibility of performing REE measurements. We investigated whether ventilator-derived VCO2 values are comparable to IC-derived VCO2 values and can clinically be used in clinical practice to...
During hospitalization in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), critically ill children are fed artificially. Administered via the preferred enteral route, caloric targets are often not reached. Hence, parenteral nutrition is given to this patient population. In this review we analyzed the available evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that supports the use of parenteral nutrition in...
Background The state-of-the-art nutrition used for critically ill children is based essentially on expert opinion and extrapolations from adult studies or on studies in non-critically ill children. In critically ill adults, withholding parenteral nutrition (PN) during the first week in ICU improved outcome, as compared with early supplementation of insufficient enteral nutrition (EN) with PN. We hypothesized...
