Background Infants undergoing cardiac surgery are at risk of a negative protein balance, due to increased proteolysis in response to surgery and the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit, and limited intake. The aim of the study was to quantify the effect on protein kinetics of a short-term high-protein (HP) diet in infants following cardiac surgery. Methods In a prospective, double-blinded,...
In pediatric cardiac surgery, fluid-restricted low-protein (LoProt) diets account for cumulative protein deficits with increased morbidity. In this setting, we aimed to inhibit proteolysis by a high-carbohydrate (HiCarb)-intake–induced hyperinsulinemia and improve protein balance.The effect of a HiCarb/LoProt (glucose 10 mg · kg −1 · min −1 /protein 0.7 g · kg −1 · d −1...
Critical care providers fail to meet patients’ nutritional demands particularly during the first days of PICU stay. We hypothesize that the introduction of a feeding algorithm combined with a nutritional support team (NST) can improve nutrition delivery.In our PICU we compared the delivered percentages of goals for energy and macronutrients during the first 10 days of admission before and after the...
