Nutrition in critically ill children with acute kidney injury on continuous kidney replacement therapy: a 2023 executive summary. Nutrition 2024; 119:112272. [PMID: 38118382 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2023.112272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/22/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nutrition plays a vital role in the outcome of critical illness in children, particularly those with acute kidney injury. Currently, there are no established guidelines for children with acute kidney injury treated with continuous kidney replacement therapy. Our objective was to create clinical practice points for nutritional assessment and management in critically ill children with acute kidney injury receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy. METHODS An electronic search using PubMed and an inclusive academic library search (including MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases) was conducted to find relevant English-language articles on nutrition therapy for children (<18 y of age) receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy. RESULTS The existing literature was reviewed by our work group, comprising pediatric nephrologists and experts in nutrition. The modified Delphi method was then used to develop a total of 45 clinical practice points. The best methods for nutritional assessment are discussed. Indirect calorimetry is the most reliable method of predicting resting energy expenditure in children on continuous kidney replacement therapy. Schofield equations can be used when indirect calorimetry is not available. The non-intentional calories contributed by continuous kidney replacement therapy should also be accounted for during caloric dosing. Protein supplementation should be increased to account for the proteins, peptides, and amino acids lost with continuous kidney replacement therapy. CONCLUSIONS Clinical practice points are provided on nutrition assessment, determining energy needs, and nutrient intake in children with acute kidney injury and on continuous kidney replacement therapy based on the existing literature and expert opinions of a multidisciplinary panel.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutrition plays a vital role in the outcome of critically ill children, particularly those with AKI. Currently, there are no established guidelines for children with AKI treated with continuous RRT (CRRT). A thorough understanding of the metabolic changes and nutritional challenges in AKI and CRRT is required. Our objective was to create clinical practice points for nutritional assessment and management in critically ill children with AKI receiving CRRT. METHODS PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases were searched for articles related to the topic. Expertise of the authors and a consensus of the workgroup were additional sources of data in the article. Available articles on nutrition therapy in pediatric patients receiving CRRT through January 2023. RESULTS On the basis of the literature review, the current evidence base was examined by a panel of experts in pediatric nephrology and nutrition. The panel used the literature review as well as their expertise to formulate clinical practice points. The modified Delphi method was used to identify and refine clinical practice points. CONCLUSIONS Forty-four clinical practice points are provided on nutrition assessment, determining energy needs, and nutrient intake in children with AKI and on CRRT on the basis of the existing literature and expert opinions of a multidisciplinary panel.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The optimal intake to improve protein metabolism without producing adverse effects in seriously ill infants has yet to be established. The aim of our study was to analyse whether an increased protein intake delivered through enteral nutrition would be associated with an improvement in nitrogen balance and serum protein levels in critically ill infants. METHODS We conducted a multicentre, prospective randomized controlled trial (December 2016-June 2019). The sample consisted of critically ill infants receiving enteral nutrition assigned randomly to 3 protein content groups: standard diet (1.7 g/dL), protein-enriched diet (2.7 g/dL) and high protein-enriched diet (5.1 g/dL). Blood and urine tests were performed, and we assessed nitrogen balance at baseline and at 3-5 days of the diet. We analysed variations in nitrogen balance and serum protein levels (total protein, albumin, transferrin, prealbumin, and retinol-binding protein) throughout the study period. RESULTS Ninety-nine infants (33 per group) completed the study. We did not find any differences were between groups in demographic characteristics, severity scores or prescribed medications, except for corticosteroids, administered in a higher proportion of patients in the third group. We observed significant increases in prealbumin and retinol-binding protein levels in patients receiving the protein-enriched and high protein-enriched diets at 3-5 days compared to baseline. The nitrogen balance increased in all groups, but the differences were not significant in the high protein-enriched group. There were no differences in gastrointestinal tolerance. Patients fed high protein-enriched formula had higher levels of serum urea, with a higher incidence of hyperuraemia in this group. CONCLUSION Enteral administration of higher amounts of protein improves serum protein levels in critically ill children. A protein intake of 2.2 g/kg/day is generally safe and well tolerated, whereas an intake of 3.4 g/kg/day may produce hyperuraemia in some patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) are at high risk for inadequate nutrition delivery. The objective of this study is to evaluate barriers to adequate energy and protein delivery in critically ill patients with congenital heart disease receiving RRT. METHODS This is a single-center retrospective cohort study of patients receiving RRT in the CICU from 2011 to 2019. Energy and protein adequacy was recorded over the first 7 days of RRT. Adequacy was defined as delivery of >80% of the energy and protein targets during this time period. Patients who achieved adequacy were compared to those who did not. Multivariable logistic regression models were constructed to determine factors independently associated with energy and protein adequacy while receiving RRT. RESULTS Sixty patients were included for analysis. Fifty-five patients (92%) achieved energy adequacy and 37 patients (62%) achieved protein adequacy. A higher weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) on admission to the CICU was the only independent predictor of inadequate energy intake (odds ratio 0.07, 95% confidence interval 0.01-0.58, P = .014); median WAZ was -1.17 versus +1.24 for those with adequate versus inadequate energy intake, respectively. Fluid restriction to <80% of maintenance fluid at the time of RRT initiation was more likely in patients with higher WAZ. Fluid restriction was the only independent predictor of inadequate protein intake (odds ratio 0.13, 95% confidence interval 0.02-0.7, P = .018); 5% versus 30% were fluid restricted in those with adequate versus inadequate protein intake, respectively. Azotemia was not associated with inadequate protein intake. Initiation of RRT did not allow for liberalization of fluid intake over the time period evaluated. CONCLUSIONS Protein delivery was inadequate in 38% of children undergoing RRT in the CICU. Fluid restriction was associated with inadequate protein intake and higher WAZ was associated with inadequate energy intake.

Abstract
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a life-saving therapy, but neonates who require ECLS have unique nutritional needs and require aggressive, early nutritional support. These critically ill neonates are at increased risk for long-term feeding difficulties, malnutrition, and growth failure with associated increased morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, few studies specific to this population exist. Clinical guidelines published by the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition are specific to this population and available to aid clinicians in appropriate nutrition regimens, but studies to date suggest that nutrition provision varies greatly from center to center and often is inadequate. Though enteral feedings are becoming more common, aggressive parenteral nutrition is still needed to ensure nutrition goals are met, including the goal of increased protein provision. Long-term complications, including the need for tube feedings and growth failure, are common in neonatal ECLS survivors, particularly those with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Oral aversion with poor feeding and growth failure must be anticipated and recognized early if present. The nutritional implications associated with the development of acute kidney injury, fluid overload, or the use of continuous renal replacement therapy must be recognized. In this state-of-the-art review, we examine aspects of nutrition for neonates receiving ECLS including nutritional requirements, nutrition provision, current practices, long-term outcomes, and special population considerations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Growth failure following surgical palliation of complex congenital heart defects (CHDs) is a prognosticator of poor outcomes. Many strategies for improving weight gain have been implemented in this population, with limited success. We recently described the potential of the anabolic steroid oxandrolone to improve weight gain following surgical repair of CHD when administered via a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil suspension to the buccal mucosa. The current study evaluates the stability of oxandrolone in the MCT oil formulation, as well as the pharmacokinetics of oxandrolone when administered via buccal mucosa in both neonates and adults.METHODS Stability was assessed by long-term storage of the preparation 1) at ambient conditions and 2) under photodegradative conditions for 3 days. Neonatal pharmacokinetic parameters were determined in a cohort of neonates following surgical CHD repair, whereas adult pharmacokinetics parameters were collected as part of a prospective study to evaluate the relative bioavailability of the oxandrolone in MCT oil formulation.RESULTS We found that oxandrolone was stable in the MCT oil formulation for at least 1 month, although exposure to light hastened drug degradation. Both neonatal and adult oxandrolone pharmacokinetics were variable; however, oxandrolone in MCT oil was relatively well absorbed through the buccal mucosa (mean bioavailability = 62.5%).CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that the variability in oxandrolone exposures is inherent to the drug, and not the formulation or route of administration. Combined, these data support further study of this novel oxandrolone in MCT oil formulation and its impact on growth following complex surgical repair of CHD in neonates.

Abstract
Background Nutritional support is essential in the care of critically ill children since malnutrition in this population is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Injury in patients admitted to pediatric intensive care units (PICU) results in a catabolic state and augmented protein breakdown, leading to a negative protein balance. Current recommendations about protein prescription in the PICU are fundamentally based on expert opinions, and the minimum threshold is 1.5 g/kg per day of protein, although protein needs could be higher in certain subgroups of patients. The main objectives of the present study are to examine whether the administration of a protein-enriched infant formula increases the serum levels of total proteins, albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, and retinol and improves nitrogen balance and to analyze the effect of the high-protein diet on energy expenditure. A secondary objective is to register possible secondary effects of the protein-enriched diet. Methods A multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be performed in three hospitals. Patients meeting inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated to one of three enteral feeding formulae with different protein contents. Blood and urine test, nitrogen balance assessment, and energy expenditure testing by indirect calorimetry will be performed at the beginning of the nutrition regimen and at 24 h, 72 h and 5–7 days after initiation. The sample size for this trial is estimated to be 90 participants (about 30 participants in each group). The data analysis will be by intention to treat. Discussion This RCT will provide new data about the amount of protein needed to improve levels of serum protein and nitrogen balance, a surrogate of protein balance, in critically ill infants receiving enteral nutrition. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03901742. Registered April 1, 2019 – Retrospectively registered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After heart surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass, neonates have a profound metabolic response to stress. If adequate nutritional support is not provided this leads to loss of lean mass and deterioration of vital organs. The objective of this study was to describe the nutritional status and nutritional support achieved in infants younger than 3 months of life undergo in cardiovascular surgery. METHODS A prospective, descriptive study was conducted in a Pediatric Cardiovascular intensive therapy at tertiary care center. All patients younger than 3 months of life admitted to the cardiovascular unit undergoing heart surgery between April 2013 and May2014 were included. We proposed to achieve 67 kcal/kg/day as one of the nutritional intervention goals. The children were evaluated on admission and at 3 and 7 days post-surgery. RESULTS Seventy-four patients were evaluated. Total parenteral nutrition could be implemented in all patients that were entered into the protocol requiring parenteral nutrition. Mean volume administered over this period was 50 mL/kg/day (range, 25 to 80 mL/kg/day). Evaluation on admission, at 72 hours, and one week postoperatively showed that 70%, 69%, and 62.7% of the patients, respectively, were not able to achieve the 67 kcal/kg/day proposed as one of the nutritional intervention goals. It was found that at the three study time points enteral and parental caloric intake could cover 100% of the metabolic resting energy expenditure (REE) estimated using the Schofield and WHO equations with no significant differences between the two. CONCLUSIONS Although the calorie intake proposed by our intervention was not achieved, it did cover 100% of the REE calculated by the equations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility of initiating enteral nutrition support with first 24 h of congenital heart repairs in neonates and Infants and its impact on outcomes following surgery. DESIGN It is a prospective randomized control single blind study. SETTING It is a single centre prospective study carried out in a tertiary care centre at Pediatric cardiac intensive care unit. PATIENTS All patients with the cyanotic congenital heart disease with increase pulmonary blood flow, weighing less than 5 kg and undergoing congenital heart repair during the study period were included in the study. Patients with single ventricle status, those undergoing palliative procedures (PA band), open chest, requiring ECMO before leaving operating room, having any other contraindication for starting enteral feeding or those who refuse for consent were excluded from study. INTERVENTIONS The patients were randomized into two groups. Group 1 received trophic feeds (10-20 ml/kg/day) starting 4-6 h after surgery while feeds children in group 2 were kept NPO and received feeds after 48 h after surgery. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS 15 children enrolled in both the groups. Both pre-operative and intraoperative variables were comparable in both the groups. There was no complication (vomiting, diarrhea, NEC, bowel necrosis) noted in the children who received feeds after surgery. Mean duration of mechanical ventilation in the feeds group was 58.2 ± 4.71 h, which was less then significantly less than those in the NPO group (P value 0.05). Similarly, duration of ICU stay was only 179.04 ± 41.28 h in feeds group as compared to 228.72 ± 85.44 h in the NPO group. CONCLUSIONS Neonates and Infants tolerate feeds immediately following congenital heart repairs. Moreover, feeds appear to decrease duration of mechanical ventilation and duration of ICU stay.

[PMID: 29460801 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2017.09.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2017] [Revised: 06/13/2017] [Accepted: 09/27/2017] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardio pulmonary bypass often receive glucocorticoids to reduce the systemic inflammatory response. Glucocorticoids stimulate protein breakdown and increase amino acid availability. We studied whether glucocorticoid treatment influences the availability of amino acids, specifically those involved in the nitric oxide pathway. METHODS We prospectively studied 49 children with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery. Serum cortisol and amino acid levels were measured in arterial blood sampled before surgery (t = -5 min), directly after surgery (t = 0 h) and at t = 12 h and t = 24 h after surgery. Serum cortisol and amino acid levels were compared between children who had received glucocorticoids (G+) and children who had not (G-). RESULTS Of 49 patients included ((49% male, age 1.7 (0.5-8.7) y)), 33 (67%) received glucocorticoids. Baseline characteristics were not different between groups, except a higher weighted inotropic score in the G+ group. At t = 0 h, serum cortisol levels in the G+ group were significantly higher than in the G- group (7218 vs. 660 nmol/L; (p < 0.05)), but not different at the other time points. The levels of plasma amino acids had dropped after surgery. Compared to the G- group, in the G+ group the total amount of amino acids was significantly higher at t = 12 and t = 24; citrulline levels were higher at t = 12 and t = 24; and glutamine and arginine levels were higher at t = 12. CONCLUSIONS Glucocorticoid treatment during cardiac surgery in children preserves serum amino acid levels post-surgery. The preservation of glutamine, citrulline and arginine levels might have a beneficial effect on the related NO metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Food allergy is a rapidly growing public health concern because of its increasing prevalence, as well as life-threatening potential. There is limited knowledge on the nutritional status for the pediatric congenital heart disease (CHD) patients with food allergy. OBJECTIVE This study investigated both clinical and nutritional outcomes according to the CHD infants with food allergy. METHODS Forty CHD infants with food allergy and 39 controls were recruited in Shanghai, China. The height and weight for age and weight for height were converted to z-scores to evaluate their effects on nutritional status before and after CHD operation. RESULTS Cow's milk showed the most frequently sensitized food allergen. The WHZ in the ≥2 allergen group was different before operation and after operation (P = .040). The number of sensitized food allergens significantly correlated with the WHZ (r = -0.431, P = .001), WAZ (r = -0.465, P = .000), and HAZ (r = -0.287, P = .025). Infection and NT-BNP showing negative correlation with WHZ and WAZ of infants with food allergy. CONCLUSIONS The increased number of sensitized food allergens is associated with negative effects on both short-term and long-term nutritional status in infants with CHD. Therefore, the meticulous and continuous evaluation and management of both growth and nutritional status should be considered in CHD patients with a high number of sensitized food allergens.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill children is frequently a component of the multiple organ failure syndrome. It occurs within the framework of the severe catabolic phase determined by critical illness and is intensified by metabolic derangements. Nutritional support is a must for these children to improve outcomes. Meeting the special nutritional needs of these children often requires nutritional supplementation by either the enteral or the parenteral route. Since critically ill children with AKI comprise a heterogeneous group of subjects with varying nutrient needs, nutritional requirements should be frequently reassessed, individualized and carefully integrated with renal replacement therapy. This article is a state-of-the-art review of nutrition in critically ill children with AKI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives of this review are to discuss the challenges of delivering adequate nutrition to children with congenital heart disease, including pre- and postoperative factors and the role of enteral and parenteral nutrition, as well as the evidence supporting current practices. DATA SOURCE MEDLINE and PubMed. CONCLUSION Providing adequate nutritional support is paramount for critically ill infants with congenital heart disease, a population at particular risk for malnutrition. Improved nutritional support has been associated with increased survival and reduction in overall morbidity. Further gains can be achieved by creating a clinical culture that emphasizes optimal perioperative nutritional support. Additional research is required to identify the specific nutrient composition, optimal mode, and timing of delivery to maximize clinical benefit.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Malnutrition and poor weight gain, common in neonates following repair of complex congenital heart disease (CHD), are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid, improves weight gain in older children at high-risk for growth failure. We sought to determine feasibility, safety, and efficacy of oxandrolone therapy in neonates following surgery for complex CHD. DESIGN Neonates with RACHS-1 score >3 were eligible to receive open-label oxandrolone for 28 days in this prospective pilot trial. There were 3 cohorts of 5 subjects receiving oxandrolone therapy under 3 specified dosage and preparation protocols: 0.1 mg/kg/day aqueous solution, 0.2 mg/kg/day aqueous solution, and 0.1 mg/kg/day preparation in medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil. Age- and diagnosis-matched neonates who underwent surgery, but received no oxandrolone, served as a control cohort. Anthropometric measurements, physical examination for virilization, safety labs, and adverse events were monitored. RESULTS Of 25 eligible patients, 15 consented (60%, 13/15 with Norwood procedure). There was no evidence of virilization, no changes in safety labs, and no serious adverse events related to oxandrolone among subjects receiving therapy. No subject met criteria for termination of study drug. There was a significant difference in change in weight-for-age z-score among the four cohorts, with subjects receiving 0.1 mg/kg/day in MCT oil having the lowest decline during the study period (-1.8 ± 0.5 for controls, -1.7 ± 0.4 for 0.1 mg/kg/day aqueous, -1.0 ± 0.4 for 0.2 mg/kg/day aqueous, and -0.6 ± 0.7 for 0.1 mg/kg/day MCT oil, P = .012). CONCLUSIONS Oxandrolone therapy at the doses studied appears safe in neonates after surgery for complex CHD. The decline in weight-for-age z-score was lowest in those receiving the MCT oil preparation suggesting better bioavailability of this preparation and a potential growth benefit with oxandrolone therapy. Further investigation is needed to define optimal dosing and assess efficacy.

Abstract
Both protein and energy malnutrition are common in neonates and infants with congenital heart disease (CHD). Neonates with CHD are at increased risk of developing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), particularly the preterm population. Mortality in patients with CHD and NEC is higher than for either disease process alone. Standardized feeding protocols may affect both incidence of NEC and growth failure in infants with CHD. The roles of human milk and probiotics have not yet been explored in this patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to characterize growth between birth and age 3 years in infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome who underwent the Norwood procedure. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a secondary analysis using the Single Ventricle Reconstruction Trial database after excluding patients <37 weeks gestation (N=498). We determined length-for-age z score (LAZ) and weight-for-age z score (WAZ) at birth and age 3 years and change in WAZ over 4 clinically relevant time periods. We identified correlates of change in WAZ and LAZ using multivariable linear regression with bootstrapping. Mean WAZ and LAZ were below average relative to the general population at birth (P<0.001, P=0.05, respectively) and age 3 years (P<0.001 each). The largest decrease in WAZ occurred between birth and Norwood discharge; the greatest gain occurred between stage II and 14 months. At age 3 years, WAZ and LAZ were <-2 in 6% and 18%, respectively. Factors associated with change in WAZ differed among time periods. Shunt type was associated with change in WAZ only in the Norwood discharge to stage II period; subjects with a Blalock-Taussig shunt had a greater decline in WAZ than those with a right ventricle-pulmonary artery shunt (P=0.002). CONCLUSIONS WAZ changed over time and the predictors of change in WAZ varied among time periods. By age 3 years, subjects remained small and three times as many children were short as were underweight (>2 SD below normal). Failure to find consistent risk factors supports the strategy of tailoring nutritional therapies to patient- and stage-specific targets. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION URL http://clinicaltrials.gov/.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the incidence and study association of hyperglycemia with outcome of critically ill children. SETTING AND DESIGN This was a prospective observational study conducted in eight bedded pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of a tertiary care hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and one critically ill non-diabetic children between ages of 1 month to 16 years were studied from the day of admission till discharge or death. Serial blood sugars were determined first at admission, thereafter every 12 hourly in all children. Blood glucose level above 126 mg/dl (>7 mmol/dl) was considered as hyperglycemia. Children with hyperglycemia were followed 6 hourly till blood glucose fell below 126 mg/dl. Hyper and non-hyperglycemic children were compared with respect to length of stay, mechanical ventilation, use of inotrops and final outcome. Survivors and non-survivors were compared in relation to admission blood glucose, peak blood glucose level and duration of hyperglycemia. RESULTS Seventy (69.3%) children had hyperglycemia. Requirement of ventilation [(23) 32.9% vs.(3) 9.7%], requirement of inotropic support [(27) 38.6% vs.(5) 16.1%], Mean length of stay in PICU (7.91 ± 5.01 vs. 5.58 ± 1.95 days) and mortality (28.6% vs. 3.2%) among hyperglycemic children was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that of non-hyperglycemic. Logistic regression analysis showed Peak blood glucose level and duration of hyperglycemia has independent association with increased risk of death. CONCLUSION Incidence of hyperglycemia is high in critically ill children and it is associated with high morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of early introduction of enteral nutrition therapy in reducing morbidity and mortality in pediatric intensive care unit. METHODS Search in the literature of the last 10 years, in English and the target population of individuals aged 1 month to 18 years admitted to pediatric intensive care units in the databases PubMed, Lilacs and Embase using the keywords: Critical Care, Nutritional Support and Nutrition Disorders or Malnutrition. RESULTS Despite advances in the quality of clinical care, the prevalence of malnutrition in hospitalized children remains unchanged in the last 20 years (15-30%) and has implications for the time of admission, course of illness and morbidity. Malnutrition is common and is often poorly recognized and therefore, untreated. Nutritional therapy is an essential part in the treatment of pediatric patients who have severely ill hypercatabolic state protein, which can be minimized with an effective nutritional treatment plan. In this study, we reviewed publications which have shown that there is still a paucity of randomized and controlled studies with good statistical treatment in relation to enteral nutritional therapy with outcomes related to morbidity and mortality. The current guidelines for nutritional therapy in these patients are largely based on expert opinion and data extrapolated from adult studies and studies in healthy children. CONCLUSION The scientific evidence on the use of enteral nutrition therapy in improving the development of critically ill pediatric patients is still scarce and further studies are needed focusing on it, and better guidelines must be formulated.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyperglycemia in children after cardiac surgery can be treated with intensive insulin therapy, but hypoglycemia is a potential serious side effect. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of reducing glucose intake below standard intakes to prevent hyperglycemia, on blood glucose concentrations, glucose kinetics and protein catabolism in children after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). METHODS Subjects received a 4-hour low glucose (LG; 2.5 mg/kg per minute) and a 4-hour standard glucose (SG; 5.0 mg/kg per minute) infusion in a randomized blinded crossover setting. Simultaneously, an 8-hour stable isotope tracer protocol was conducted to determine glucose and leucine kinetics. Data are presented as mean ± SD or median (IQR); comparison was made by paired samples t test. RESULTS Eleven subjects (age 5.1 (20.2) months) were studied 9.5 ± 1.9 hours post-cardiac surgery. Blood glucose concentrations were lower during LG than SG (LG 7.3 ± 0.7 vs. SG 9.3 ± 1.8 mmol/L; P < 0.01), although the glycemic target (4.0-6.0 mmol/L) was not achieved. No hypoglycemic events occurred. Endogenous glucose production was higher during LG than SG (LG 2.9 ± 0.8 vs. SG 1.5 ± 1.1 mg/kg per minute; P = 0.02), due to increased glycogenolysis (LG 1.0 ± 0.6 vs. SG 0.0 ± 1.0 mg/kg per minute; P < 0.05). Leucine balance, indicating protein balance, was negative but not affected by glucose intake (LG -54.8 ± 14.6 vs. SG -58.8 ± 16.7 μmol/kg per hour; P = 0.57). CONCLUSIONS Currently recommended glucose intakes aggravated hyperglycemia in children early after cardiac surgery with CPB. Reduced glucose intake decreased blood glucose concentrations without causing hypoglycemia or affecting protein catabolism, but increased glycogenolysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Despite advances in pediatric nutritional support and a renewed focus on management of intestinal failure, there are limited recent data regarding the risk of parenteral nutrition (PN)-associated liver disease in surgical infants. This study investigated the incidence of cholestasis from PN and risk factors for its development in this population. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of all neonates in our institution who underwent abdominal surgery and required postoperative PN from 2001 to 2006. Cholestasis was defined as 2 conjugated bilirubin levels greater than 2 mg/dL over 14 days. Nonparametric univariate analyses and multivariate logistic regression were used to model the likelihood of developing cholestasis. Median values with range are presented. RESULTS One hundred seventy-six infants met inclusion criteria, and patients received PN for 28 days (range, 2-256 days). The incidence of cholestasis was 24%. Cholestatic infants were born at an earlier gestational age (34 vs 36 weeks; P < .01), required a 3-fold longer PN duration (76 vs 21 days; P < .001), had longer inpatient stays (86 vs 29 days; P < .001), and were more likely to be discharged on PN. The median time to cholestasis was 23 days. Cholestasis was an early development; 77% of cholestatic infants developed cholestasis by 5 weeks of PN exposure. On multivariate regression, only prematurity was significantly associated with development of cholestasis (P < .05). CONCLUSION In this analysis, the development of PN-associated liver disease occurred early in the course of exposure to PN. These data help to define the time course and prognosis for PN-associated cholestasis in surgical infants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adequate nutritional support is essential for normal infant growth and development. Infants with congenital cardiac disease are known to be at risk for growth failure. We sought to describe perioperative growth in infants undergoing surgical repair of two-ventricle congenital cardiac disease and assess for predictors of their pattern of growth.Materials and methodsFull-term infants who underwent surgical repair of two-ventricle congenital cardiac disease at a single institution were enrolled in a retrospective cohort study performed following a larger prospective study. Infants with facial, gastrointestinal, or neurologic anomalies, trisomy chromosomal abnormality, birth weight less than 2500 grams, or those transferred to another institution before discharge home were excluded. The primary outcome was change in weight-for-age z score from surgery to discharge. Our secondary outcome variable was post-operative hospital length of stay. RESULTS A total of 76 infants met the inclusion criteria. Medain age at surgery was 5 days with a range from 1 to 44. The median weight-for-age z score at surgery was -0.2 with a range from -2.9 to 2.8 and by discharge had dropped to -1.2 with a range from -3.4 to 1.8. The median change in weight-for-age z score from surgery to discharge was -1.0 with a range from -2.3 to 0.2. Delayed post-operative nutrition (p < 0.001) and reintubation following initial post-operative extubation (p = 0.001) were associated with decrease in weight-for-age z score. CONCLUSIONS Infants undergoing repair of two-ventricle congenital cardiac disease had poor growth in the post-operative period. This may be mitigated by early initiation of post-operative nutrition.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Adequate nutrition is crucial in children after surgery for congenital heart disease. We address selected nutritional and caloric requirements for children in the perioperative period before and after cardiac surgery and explore nutritional interdependence with other system functions. Recommendations based on our current practice are made at the end of each section. RECENT FINDINGS Early identification of deficient oropharyngeal motor skills and vocal cord dysfunction is crucial to establish enteral nutrition safely and has been demonstrated to improve clinical outcomes. The use of prealbumin as a marker of nutritional state should be accompanied by C-reactive protein given the influence of inflammation on its levels. Insulin infusions may improve outcomes in patients with postoperative hyperglycemia. Trace element abnormalities and early identification of immune-compromised states can aid in reducing morbidity in children after cardiac surgery. Use of feeding protocols and a home surveillance system for hypoplastic left heart syndrome improves outcomes. SUMMARY Adequate nutritional support in children after cardiac surgery is a challenge. Attention to lesion-specific feeding problems, supplementation of trace elements and minerals, and an organized approach to pace, timing, and type of feeding are beneficial.

Abstract
During sepsis in adults, fat becomes a preferred fuel; however, oxidation may be impaired relative to the circulating fatty acid levels. Little is known about the ability of infants and children to oxidize lipids during systemic inflammation (SIRS) and sepsis. The aim of this study was to examine the oxidation of exogenous lipid in these patients. Sixteen patients with SIRS/sepsis and eight controls with no evidence of sepsis were studied by indirect calorimetry during an i.v. lipid utilization test (1 h of 0.3 g/kg/h glucose followed by 3 h of 0.1 g/kg/h glucose plus 0.15 g/kg/h lipid). The respiratory quotient (RQ) (1.0 for carbohydrate utilization and 0.7 for fat utilization) was measured. Results were compared by repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA), paired or unpaired t tests. There was no difference in baseline RQ between controls and patients with SIRS/sepsis (mean +/- SD; 0.82 +/- 0.08 versus 0.82 +/- 0.04). The RQ of controls dropped significantly to 0.78 +/- 0.08 at 240 min (p < 0.001). The RQ of patients with SIRS/sepsis also fell to 0.78 +/- 0.06 (p < 0.01). Infants and children with SIRS/sepsis are able to oxidize i.v. lipid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Nutritional support is essential in the care of critically ill children since inadequate feeding increases morbidity and negatively affects growth. We aimed to compare cumulative energy and protein intakes with recommended dietary intakes (RDA) and examine relationships between accumulated balances and anthropometric parameters. METHODS Prospective, observational study. Total daily energy and protein intakes were determined during a maximum of 14 days in 261 children admitted to our multidisciplinary tertiary pediatric ICU. Actual intakes were subtracted from RDA and cumulative balances were calculated. Relations between cumulative balances, various clinical factors and changes in anthropometry (weight, arm and calf circumference) were analyzed using regression analysis. RESULTS At 14 days after admission children showed significant cumulative nutritional deficits compared to RDA. These deficits were on average 27, 20, 12 kcal/kg and 0.6, 0.3, and 0.2 g protein/kg per day for preterm neonates (n = 103), term neonates (n = 91) and older children (n = 67), respectively. Age at admission, length of ICU-stay and days on mechanical ventilation were negatively related to cumulative balances. Cumulative energy and protein deficits were associated with declines in SD-scores for weight and arm circumference. CONCLUSIONS Children admitted to the ICU accumulate substantial energy and protein deficits when compared to RDA. These deficits are related to decreases in anthropometric parameters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence and prognostic significance of hyperglycemia among critically ill nondiabetic children. STUDY DESIGN We performed a retrospective cohort study using point-of-care blood glucose measurements, hospital administrative databases, and a computerized information system; 942 nondiabetic patients admitted to our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) from October 2000 to September 2003 were included. The prevalence of hyperglycemia was based on initial PICU glucose measurement, highest value within 24 hours, and highest value measured during PICU stay up to 10 days after the first measurement. Primary outcome was in-hospital death with PICU lengths of stay (LOS) as secondary outcome. RESULTS Through the use of three cutoff values (120 mg/dL, 150 mg/dL, and 200 mg/dL), the prevalence of hyperglycemia was 16.7% to 75.0%. The relative risk (RR) for dying increased for maximum glucose within 24 hours >150 mg/dL (RR, 2.50; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.26 to 4.93) and highest glucose within 10 days >120 mg/dL (RR, 5.68; 95% CI, 1.38 to 23.47). LOS was decreased for admission glucose >120 mg/dL and 150 mg/dL but increased for all threshold values for maximum glucose within 10 days. CONCLUSIONS Hyperglycemia occurs frequently among critically ill nondiabetic children and is correlated with a greater in-hospital mortality rate and longer LOS.

Abstract
A nutritional plan should be incorporated into every treatment plan of the critically ill patient. Weight loss and cachexia are the result of prevalence of catabolic processes over anabolic processes in addition to absolute or relative increased demands and decreased food intake.
