Nutrition in Critically Ill Children with AKI on Continuous RRT: Consensus Recommendations. KIDNEY360 2024; 5:285-309. [PMID: 38112754 PMCID: PMC10914214 DOI: 10.34067/kid.0000000000000339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
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.

Li M, Wang Y, Chen Q. Substandard feeding in children undergoing mechanical ventilation in pediatric intensive care unit: A retrospective cohort study in China. BELITUNG NURSING JOURNAL 2023; 9:580-585. [PMID: 38130675 PMCID: PMC10731434 DOI: 10.33546/bnj.2876] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Enteral nutrition is a common yet vital practice in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). However, the status of substandard feeding of enteral nutrition in PICU children undergoing mechanical ventilation remains unclear and can be detrimental to the children's prognosis. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, nursing care status, and influencing factors of substandard feeding in children undergoing mechanical ventilation in the PICU. Methods This study employed a retrospective cohort design. Children undergoing mechanical ventilation and enteral nutrition in the PICU of a public hospital in China from 1 June 2021 to 31 December 2022 were selected using convenience sampling, and their characteristics were collected and evaluated. Pearson correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted to assess the influencing factors of substandard feeding in PICU children with mechanical ventilation. Results A total of 156 PICU children undergoing mechanical ventilation were included for analysis in this study. The rate of substandard feeding in PICU children was 65.38%. Statistically significant differences were observed in diarrhea, vomiting, the use of sedatives, and average infusion speed between the substandard feeding group and the standard group (p <0.05). Pearson correlation results indicated that diarrhea (r = 0.595), vomiting (r = 0.602), and average infusion speed (r = 0.562) were correlated with substandard feeding and characteristics of included ICU children undergoing mechanical ventilation (p <0.05). Logistic regression results found that diarrhea (OR = 2.183, 95%CI: 1.855~2.742), vomiting (OR = 3.021, 95%CI: 2.256~4.294), and average infusion speed ≤40 mL/h (OR = 2.605, 95%CI: 1.921~3.357) were independent risk factors for substandard feeding in mechanically ventilated children in the ICU (p <0.05). Conclusion The rate of substandard feeding in children with mechanical ventilation in the PICU was high. Diarrhea, vomiting, and slow infusion speed are important influencing factors for substandard feeding. It is suggested that nurses and other healthcare professionals take targeted measures, including the prevention and care of diarrhea and vomiting, as well as monitoring and adjusting the infusion speed of enteral nutrition, to reduce the occurrence of substandard feeding.

Evaluation of nutritional status in pediatric intensive care unit patients: the results of a multicenter, prospective study in Turkey. Front Pediatr 2023; 11:1179721. [PMID: 37601138 PMCID: PMC10436004 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2023.1179721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Malnutrition is defined as a pathological condition arising from deficient or imbalanced intake of nutritional elements. Factors such as increasing metabolic demands during the disease course in the hospitalized patients and inadequate calorie intake increase the risk of malnutrition. The aim of the present study is to evaluate nutritional status of patients admitted to pediatric intensive care units (PICU) in Turkey, examine the effect of nutrition on the treatment process and draw attention to the need for regulating nutritional support of patients while continuing existing therapies. Material and Method In this prospective multicenter study, the data was collected over a period of one month from PICUs participating in the PICU Nutrition Study Group in Turkey. Anthropometric data of the patients, calorie intake, 90-day mortality, need for mechanical ventilation, length of hospital stay and length of stay in intensive care unit were recorded and the relationship between these parameters was examined. Results Of the 614 patients included in the study, malnutrition was detected in 45.4% of the patients. Enteral feeding was initiated in 40.6% (n = 249) of the patients at day one upon admission to the intensive care unit. In the first 48 h, 86.82% (n = 533) of the patients achieved the target calorie intake, and 81.65% (n = 307) of the 376 patients remaining in the intensive care unit achieved the target calorie intake at the end of one week. The risk of mortality decreased with increasing upper mid-arm circumference and triceps skin fold thickness Z-score (OR = 0.871/0.894; p = 0.027/0.024). The risk of mortality was 2.723 times higher in patients who did not achieve the target calorie intake at first 48 h (p = 0.006) and the risk was 3.829 times higher in patients who did not achieve the target calorie intake at the end of one week (p = 0.001). The risk of mortality decreased with increasing triceps skin fold thickness Z-score (OR = 0.894; p = 0.024). Conclusion Timely and appropriate nutritional support in critically ill patients favorably affects the clinical course. The results of the present study suggest that mortality rate is higher in patients who fail to achieve the target calorie intake at first 48 h and day seven of admission to the intensive care unit. The risk of mortality decreases with increasing triceps skin fold thickness Z-score.

Abstract
Ketogenic Dietary Treatments (KDTs) are to date the gold-standard treatment for glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1) deficiency syndrome. Administration of KDTs is generally per os; however, in some conditions including the acute gastro-enteric post-surgical setting, short-term parenteral (PN) administration might be needed. We report the case of a 14-year-old GLUT1DS patient, following classic KDT for many years, who underwent urgent laparoscopic appendectomy. PN-KDT was required, after 1 day of fasting. No ad hoc PN-KDTs products were available and the patient received infusions of OLIMEL N4 (Baxter). On the sixth day postoperatively enteral nutrition was progressively reintroduced. The outcome was optimal with rapid recovery and no exacerbation of neurological manifestations. Our patient is the first pediatric patient with GLUT1DS in chronic treatment with KDT efficiently treated with exclusive PN for five days. This case reports on real-word management and the ideal recommendations for PN-KDT in an acute surgical setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parenteral nutrition (PN) is sometimes required in critically ill children because of contraindication or intolerance to full enteral nutrition. European guidelines recommend favoring multichamber bag PN (MCB PN), when possible, for quality purposes and ease of use. The prescribers may adjust the MCB PN through supplementations to better fulfill patient needs. The objective of this study is to investigate the use and supplementations of MCB PN. METHODS This observational, single-center, retrospective study was conducted in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). We collected prescriptions of MCB PNs and their supplementations added directly into PN bags. A descriptive analysis and a comparison of electrolyte supplementations with the manufacturer's recommendations were undertaken. RESULTS One hundred thirty-five children (median age 39.2 months [7.0-118.8]) were included, 1449 MCB PNs were administered, and 1652 supplementations were carried out in 736 PN bags. Thirty-two percent of supplementations were vitamins, 32.2% were trace elements, and 35.8% were electrolytes. Around 10% of electrolyte supplementations in PN bags were outside the manufacturer's recommendations. These nonconformities primarily concerned phosphate. CONCLUSION This study showed the real-world clinical use of MCB PN in the PICU. Proper attention should be paid to septic risks and physicochemical risks to ensure efficient practice and safety of MCB PN use.

Abstract
Nutrition is an important component in the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries (PIs). The skin is the largest organ of the body, and macronutrients and micronutrients in specific amounts are required to maintain and repair body tissues. The European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel, and the Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers/Injuries: 2019 Clinical Practice Guideline includes nutrition recommendations for PI management. This manuscript identifies the key nutrients required for wound healing, reviews the evidence in the 2019 nutrition recommendations, and translates the recommendations provided into key points to be incorporated into policy and practice that impact patient outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate how outcomes changed in newborns undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease after implementation of a standardized preoperative and postoperative nutrition program. STUDY DESIGN We performed a single-center cohort study of newborns who underwent cardiac surgery between September 2008 and July 2015. We evaluated growth and feeding outcomes in the 2 years of preprogram time (phase 0), in the 2 years after initiation of a postoperative feeding algorithm (phase 1), and in the 2 years following introduction of a preoperative feeding program (phase 2) using traditional statistics and quality improvement methods. RESULTS The study included 570 newborns with congenital heart disease. Weight-for-age z-score change from birth to hospital discharge significantly improved from phase 0 (-1.02 [IQR, -1.45 to -0.63]) to phase 1 (-0.83 [IQR, -1.25 to -0.54]; P = .006), with this improvement maintained in phase 2 (-0.89 [IQR, -1.30 to -0.56]; P = .017 across phases). Gastrostomy tube use decreased significantly (25% in phase 0 vs 12% and 14% in phases 1 and 2; P < .001) and preoperative enteral feeding increased significantly (47% and 46% in phases 0 and 1 vs 76% in phase 2; P < .001) without increases in necrotizing enterocolitis, hospital stay, or mortality. CONCLUSIONS Introduction of a multi-interventional nutrition program was associated with improved weight gain, fewer gastrostomy tubes at hospital discharge, and increased preoperative enteral feeding without increases in necrotizing enterocolitis, hospital stay, or mortality.

The cardinal symptom of acute encephalopathy is impairment of consciousness of acute onset during the course of an infectious disease, with duration and severity meeting defined criteria. Acute encephalopathy consists of multiple syndromes such as acute necrotizing encephalopathy, acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion and clinically mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with reversible splenial lesion. Among these syndromes, there are both similarities and differences. In 2016, the Japanese Society of Child Neurology published 'Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Encephalopathy in Childhood', which made recommendations and comments on the general aspects of acute encephalopathy in the first half, and on individual syndromes in the latter half. Since the guidelines were written in Japanese, this review article describes extracts from the recommendations and comments in English, in order to introduce the essence of the guidelines to international clinicians and researchers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Postpyloric feeding tube placement is a time-consuming procedure associated with multiple attempts and radiation exposure. Our objective with this study is to compare the time, attempts, and radiation exposure using the electromagnetic versus blind method to place a postpyloric feeding tube in critically ill children. Our hypothesis is that using electromagnetic guidance decreases the procedure time, number of x-rays, and number of attempts, compared to the blind method. METHODS Eleven pediatric nurses participated in a randomized controlled intention-to-treat study at an academic pediatric medical, surgical, and congenital cardiac ICU. University of Texas Health Epidemiology and Biostatistics generated a randomization sequence with sealed envelopes. A standard (2-sided) F-test of association between the electromagnetic and blind method yielded 40 subjects with 86% power. Data were analyzed with Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and the Wilcoxon rank test for continuous variables, with data documented as median (interquartile range [IQR]). RESULTS We randomly assigned 52 patients to either the electromagnetic (n = 28) or blind method (n = 24). The number of attempts and radiographs was at a median of 2 (IQR: 1-2.25) using the blind method, compared to the electromagnetic method at a median of 1 (IQR: 1.0-1.0; P = .001). Successful guidance was 96.4% with the electromagnetic method, compared to only 66.7% with the blind technique (P = .008). The total time required was 2.5 minutes (IQR: 2.0-7.25) with the electromagnetic method, compared to 19 minutes (IQR: 9.25-27.0) for the blind method (P = .001). CONCLUSIONS Electromagnetic guidance is a superior, faster, and overall safer method to place a postpyloric feeding tube in critically ill children.

Nutritional status and nutrition support in critically ill children in Spain: Results of a multicentric study. Nutrition 2020; 84:110993. [PMID: 33109454 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2020.110993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2020] [Revised: 06/10/2020] [Accepted: 08/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Critically ill children are often malnourished and require nutrition support (NS). Early enteral nutrition (EEN) seems to be safe in critically ill patients. However, there is a scarcity of data about the management of EEN in sick pediatric patients. The aim of this study was to analyze the nutritional status, NS characteristics, macronutrient supply, and associations between NS and outcomes in critically ill children in Spain. METHODS This was a multicentric, prospective, cross-sectional study involving critically ill children who received NS and with an expected length of stay (LOS) in the pediatric intensive care unit of ≥3 d. Anthropometric variables, characteristics of NS, EEN, nutrient supply, and complications were recorded. RESULTS We enrolled 86 children. Undernutrition and overweight were more prevalent in children ≤2 y of age than in older children (undernutrition: 40 versus 19%, respectively; overweight: 22.2 versus 14.3%, respectively). Being overweight was associated with a shorter PICU LOS (5.8 ± 2 versus 9.8 ± 6.5; P = 0.005). EN was the preferred method for nutrient delivery. EEN was administered to 58.1% of patients and was more common in children >2 y of age than in younger patients (73.1 versus 44.4%; P = 0.015). EEN was safe and was associated with a higher caloric intake (81.6 ± 35.3 versus 59.6 ± 36.6; P = 0.019). There was a negative correlation between mean time to EN initiation and maximum energy supply (r = -0.32; P = 0.07). CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition was prevalent among critically ill children in Spain. Being overweight was associated with a shorter PICU LOS. EEN was safe and was associated with a higher caloric intake; however, it is rarely used in PICUs in Spain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of malnutrition in children, who were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), has kept high level over the past 30 years. In addition, nutrition status of critically ill children deteriorates further during the changing of their conditions and may have a negative effect on patients' outcomes. This study aimed to determine the nutritional status of critically ill children and to survey current nutrition practices and support in PICU. METHODS In this prospective observational study, 360 critically ill children stayed in the PICU not less than 3 days from Feb. to Nov. in 2017 were enrolled. Each patient underwent nutrition assessment. Nutritional status was determined using Z-scores of length/height-for-age (HAZ), weight-for-age (WAZ), weight-for-height (WHZ), body mass index-for-age (BAZ), based on the World Health Organization child growth standards. We also observed the patients' intake of calories and protein during the first 10 days after admission. RESULTS Three hundred and sixty were enrolled in the study. One hundred and eighty-six patients (51.67%) were malnourished at PICU admission, above 50% and 56.45% (105/186) of malnourished patients had severe malnutrition. Except fasting in case of clinical instability in 5.3% (19/360), nutrition was provided in the form of oral feeding in 26.6% (96/360), enteral nutrition (EN) in 56.1% (202/360), parenteral nutrition (PN) in 6.4% (23/360) and mixed support (EN + PN) in 5.6% (20/360). Totally 384 times interruption of feeding happened in the process of EN, and 1.9 times feeding interruption happened to each patient. Twenty-seven point two percent of these patients had more than three times feeding interruption. The severe malnutrition group had significantly greater length of ICU stay and higher mechanical ventilation support rate (P=0.007, P=0.029). Total 44 (44/360, 12.22%) patients died in the study, and the malnutrition was not statistically different between survivor group and death group (P=0.379). More than 85% of the patients had lower daily nutritional intake compared with prescribed goals. Sixty-eight point three percent of the patients received the required calories during EN with median time of 2 [2-4] days. Only 32.7% of patients underwent EN received estimated protein requirements. CONCLUSIONS These results showed that malnutrition was common among children admitted to PICU. Furthermore, nutrition delivery was generally inadequate in critically ill children, and nutritional status was getting worsening during PICU.

Abstract
Pediatric obesity is increasing in prevalence and is frequently an antecedent to adult obesity and adult obesity-associated morbidities such as atherosclerosis, type II diabetes, and chronic metabolic syndrome. Endothelial cell activation, one aspect of inflammation, is present in the early stages of atherosclerosis, often prior to the onset of symptoms. Endothelial activation is a pathological condition in which vasoconstricting, pro-thrombotic, and proliferative mediators predominate protective vasodilating, anti-thrombogenic, and anti-mitogenic mediators. Many studies report poor outcomes among obese children with systemic endothelial activation. Likewise, the link between childhood obesity and poor outcomes in critical illness is well-established. However, the link between obesity and severity of endothelial activation specifically in the setting of critical illness is largely unstudied. Although endothelial cell activation is believed to worsen disease in critically ill children, the nature and extent of this response is poorly understood due to the difficulty in measuring endothelial cell dysfunction and destruction. Based on the data available for the obese, asymptomatic population and the obese, critically ill population, the authors posit that obesity, and obesity-associated chronic inflammation, including oxidative stress and insulin resistance, may contribute to endothelial activation and associated worse outcomes among critically ill children. A research agenda to examine this hypothesis is suggested.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the impact of omega-3-enriched lipid emulsion (LE) on liver enzyme (aspartate transaminase [AST] and alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) and triglyceride (TG) levels of children undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. METHODS This experimental randomized controlled group pretest-posttest design study included 14 children who underwent gastrointestinal surgery due to duodenal atresia, jejunal atresia, esophageal atresia, and need for parenteral nutrition for a minimum of 3 days at RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya between August 2018 and January 2019. These children were divided into two groups, those who received standard intravenous LE (medium-chain triglyceride [MCT]/long-chain triglyceride [LCT]) and those who received intravenous omega-3-enriched LE. Differences in AST, ALT, and TG levels were measured before surgery and 3 days after the administration of parenteral nutrition. RESULTS Liver enzyme and TG levels in each group did not differ significantly before versus 3 days after surgery. However, TG levels were significantly lower in the omega-3-enriched intravenous LE group (p=0.041) at 3 days after surgery, and statistically significant difference in changes in TG levels was noted at 3 days after surgery between MCT/LCT intravenous LE group and the omega-3-enriched intravenous LE group (p=0.008). CONCLUSION The intravenous omega-3-enriched LE had a better TG-lowering effect than the MCT/LCT intravenous LE in children undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enteral feeding is challenging in critically ill infants. Target intakes are often not achieved as a result of fluid restriction, procedural interruptions and perceived enteral feeding intolerance. In those infants perceived to have poor feeding tolerance, the use of a peptide nutrient-energy dense enteral feed (PEF) may improve nutritional intake and minimise feeding interruptions as a result of gastrointestinal symptoms. The aim of this observational study was to characterise the use of a PEF amongst critically ill infants in two paediatric intensive care units (PICUs). METHODS Records from critically ill infants aged <12 months admitted to two PICUs were retrospectively reviewed with a PICU length of stay (LOS) ≥ 7 days. Achievement of nutritional targets for the duration of PEF was reviewed. Gastrointestinal symptoms, including gastric residual volume, constipation and vomiting, were evaluated as tolerance parameters. RESULTS In total, 53 infants were included, with a median age on admission of 2.6 months. Median admission weight was 3.9 kg in PICU-1 and 4.7 kg in PICU-2. Median (interquatile range) energy intake in PICU-1 and PICU-2 was 68 (47-92) and 90 (63-124) kcal kg-1 , respectively, and median (interquatile range) protein intake 1.7 (1.1-2.4) g kg-1 and 2.5 (1.6-3.2) g kg-1 , respectively. Feeding was withheld because of feeding intolerance in one infant (4%) on two occasions in PICU-1 for 2.5 h and in two infants (7%) on two occasions in PICU-2 for 19.5 h. Gastric residual mean (SD) volumes were 3.5 (5.4) mL kg-1 in PICU-1 and 16.9 (15.6) mL kg-1 in PICU-2. CONCLUSIONS Peptide nutrient-energy dense feeding in infants admitted to the PICU is feasible, well tolerated and nutritional targets are met. However, with this study design, it is not possible to draw any conclusions regarding the benefit of PEF over standard PE feed in critically ill children and future work is required to clarify this further.

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
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hospitalized children are at risk of malnutrition. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a clinical practice in a tertiary hospital. The nutritional team developed a specific software for screening of malnutrition and risk of malnutrition (Evalnut) that provides also recommendations for the nutritional management of the patient. The data recorded into this program and the tool itself were analyzed and optimizations are highlighted. METHODS A retrospective study analyzed the data collected in 2015 during 4931 consecutive hospitalizations (3984 children) at the University Children's Hospital Queen Fabiola. Pivot tables analysis (Excel) of the database of the screening tool was compared with the clinical practice of the dietitians. First data processing excluded records with abnormal or missing values. Impact of nutritional care analysis needs at least 2 evaluations and a positive patient's height trend. In case of height equality, only length of hospital stays less than 2 weeks were kept. RESULTS This study highlighted inaccurate database records related to imperfections of the computer program, missing or erroneous measures and incomplete encoding. First analysis on 3219 valid hospitalizations showed statistical correlations. Prevalence of malnutrition on admission was 33%, split into 14,5% acute malnutrition, 15% chronic malnutrition and 3,5% mixed malnutrition. Overall, 30,3% of the children were categorized at risk of developing malnutrition during their stay. Positive impact of nutritional management on the resulting nutritional status was demonstrated on the second data selection (352 hospitalizations): WFH median (interquartile range) increased from 96,1% (87,1-106,4) on admission to 96,9% (89,1-106,1) (p < 0,01) on discharge. An optimization of the existing software was finally proposed. CONCLUSION In our hospital, the dietitians are the most aware on the importance of nutritional assessment and management during hospitalization. Encouraging results are obtained. Inclusion of a nutritional program in the medical file is useful to raise interest amongst caregivers and is particularly valuable for the nutritional follow up of the patients by the nutrition team.

Abstract
Without appropriate nutritional support, preterm infants fail to grow after birth and have malnutrition. The main reason for delayed feeding is fear of immaturity of gastrointestinal function. The principles of nutritional practice should be as follows: (1) minimal early initiation of enteral feeding with breast milk (0.5-1 mL/h) to start on Day 1 if possible and gradual increase as tolerated; (2) early aggressive parenteral nutrition as soon as possible; (3) provision of lipids at rates that will meet the additional energy needs of about 2-3 g/kg/d; and (4) attempt to increase enteral feeding rather than parenteral nutrition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To systematically review the evidence about the impact of nutritional status in critically-ill pediatric patients on the following outcomes during hospitalization in pediatric intensive care units: length of hospital stay, need for mechanical ventilation, and mortality. DATA SOURCE The search was carried out in the following databases: Lilacs (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences), MEDLINE (National Library of Medicine United States) and Embase (Elsevier Database). No filters were selected. RESULTS A total of seven relevant articles about the subject were included. The publication period was between 1982 and 2012. All articles assessed the nutritional status of patients on admission at pediatric intensive care units and correlated it to at least one assessed outcome. A methodological quality questionnaire created by the authors was applied, which was based on some references and the researchers' experience. All included studies met the quality criteria, but only four met all the items. CONCLUSION The studies included in this review suggest that nutritional depletion is associated with worse outcomes in pediatric intensive care units. However, studies are scarce and those existing show no methodological homogeneity, especially regarding nutritional status assessment and classification methods. Contemporary and well-designed studies are needed in order to properly assess the association between children's nutritional status and its impact on outcomes of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is prevalent in critically ill children. We aim to describe nutrition received by children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and to determine whether provision of adequate nutrition is associated with improved clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied characteristics and outcomes of 2 groups of patients: (1) those who received adequate calories (defined as ≥80% of predicted resting energy expenditure) and (2) those who received adequate protein (defined as ≥1.5g/kg/d of protein). Outcomes of interest were mortality, ventilator-free days (VFDs), intensive care unit (ICU)-free days, multiorgan dysfunction, and need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Categorical variables were analyzed using the Fisher exact test, and continuous variables were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify associated risk factors related to these outcomes of interest. RESULTS In total, 107 patients with ARDS were identified. There was a reduction in ICU mortality in patients who received adequate calories (34.6% vs 60.5%, P = .025) and adequate protein (14.3% vs 60.2%, P = .002) compared with those that did not. Patients with adequate protein intake also had more VFDs (median [interquartile range], 12 [3.0-19.0] vs 0 [0.0-14.8] days; P = .005). After adjusting for severity of illness, adequate protein remained significantly associated with decreased mortality (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 0.09 [0.01-0.94]; P = .044). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that adequate nutrition delivery in children with ARDS was associated with improved clinical outcomes. Protein delivery may have potentially more impact than overall caloric delivery.

Abstract
Enteral nutrition (EN) is considered to be a more appropriate method than parenteral feeding for providing nutrition to critically ill children. However, children who undergo cardiac surgery are at high risk of postoperative gastrointestinal complications during EN. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our EN feeding protocol after paediatric cardiac surgery through comparison between a single-centre prospective case series and historical cases. Forty-seven children who were admitted to the ICU after cardiac surgery were enrolled ('post group'). Data for these children were compared with a similar cohort of children who were admitted before the implementation of the feeding protocol (n=62; 'pre group'). The incidence of complications including vomiting, necrotising enterocolitis and hypoglycaemia; the time until the initiation of EN; and the changes in calories provided were compared between the groups. The frequency of vomiting was significantly lower in the post group than in the pre group (36.2% versus 58.0%, P=0.038), and necrotising enterocolitis did not occur in either group. The time until the initiation of EN and the total calories provided did not differ significantly; however, in the post group the proportion of energy provided by parenteral nutrition was significantly smaller (P <0.001), and provided by EN was significantly larger (P=0.003), than in the pre group. The frequency of hypoglycaemia was similar in both groups. This study showed that our EN protocol resulted in adjustments to calories provided via EN versus parenteral nutrition after paediatric cardiac surgery, and reduced the frequency of vomiting.

Abstract
Essential therapeutic principles in children with septic shock persist over time, although some new concepts have been recently incorporated, and fully awareness of pediatricians and intensivists is essential. Fluid resuscitation is a fundamental intervention, but the kind of ideal fluid has not been established yet, as each of these interventions has specific limitations and there is no evidence supportive of the superiority of one type of fluid. Should septic shock persists despite adequate fluid resuscitation, the use of inotropic medication and/or vasopressors is indicated. New vasoactive drugs can be used in refractory septic shock caused by vasopressors, and the use of hydrocortisone should be considered in children with suspected adrenal insufficiency, as it reduces the need for vasopressors. The indications for red blood cells transfusion or the optimal level of glycemia are still controversial, with no consensus on the threshold value for the use of these blood products or the initiation of insulin administration, respectively. Likewise, the use of high-volume hemofiltration is a controversial issue and further study is needed on the routine recommendation in the course of septic shock. Nutritional support is crucial, as malnutrition is a serious complication that should be properly prevented and treated. The aim of this paper is to provide update on the most recent advances as concerns the treatment of septic shock in the pediatric population.

Abstract
Malnutrition in the critically ill or injured child is associated with increased morbidities and mortality in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), whether present upon admission or acquired during the PICU stay. Particular subpopulations such as those with congenital heart disease or severe thermal injury are at highest risk for malnutrition which can worsen with illness progression. A growing body of evidence suggests the presence of a positive association between nutrition support during critical illness and patient outcomes. Enteral nutrition (EN), the preferred route of nutrient delivery, may be a crucial component of care provided in the PICU which modifies the response to critical illness or injury, resulting in improved outcomes. Numerous challenges exist in the delivery of the EN goal in critically ill children. These include accurate assessment of nutrient requirements, hemodynamic instability, feeding intolerance, feeding interruptions, and the lack of a standardized approach to nutrition support. This article describes the current state of the science and challenges related to EN prescription and delivery in the critically ill child. Suggestions for improving EN practice are then presented, in addition to a platform for further research inquiry.

Abstract
Pediatric overweight and obesity rates have reached epidemic proportions and continue to rise globally. Many long-term complications have been described about the impact of obesity; however, little work has been done in the area of acute and critical illness in children. Available evidence suggests that childhood obesity can impact acute and critical illness when compared with normal weight cohorts. This review will discuss the available literature on the impact of pediatric obesity during acute and critical illness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the recommendations from the Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference on nonpulmonary treatments in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome. DESIGN Consensus conference of experts in pediatric acute lung injury. METHODS A panel of 27 experts met over the course of 2 years to develop a taxonomy to define pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome and to make recommendations regarding treatment and research priorities. The nonpulmonary subgroup comprised three experts. When published data were lacking, a modified Delphi approach emphasizing strong professional agreement was utilized. RESULTS The Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference experts developed and voted on a total of 151 recommendations addressing the topics related to pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome, 30 of which related to nonpulmonary treatment. All 30 recommendations had strong agreement. Patients with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome should receive 1) minimal yet effective targeted sedation to facilitate mechanical ventilation; 2) neuromuscular blockade, if sedation alone is inadequate to achieve effective mechanical ventilation; 3) a nutrition plan to facilitate their recovery, maintain their growth, and meet their metabolic needs; 4) goal-directed fluid management to maintain adequate intravascular volume, end-organ perfusion, and optimal delivery of oxygen; and 5) goal-directed RBC transfusion to maintain adequate oxygen delivery. Future clinical trials in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome should report sedation, neuromuscular blockade, nutrition, fluid management, and transfusion exposures to allow comparison across studies. CONCLUSIONS The Consensus Conference developed pediatric-specific definitions for pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome and recommendations regarding treatment and future research priorities. These recommendations for nonpulmonary treatment in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome are intended to promote optimization and consistency of care for patients with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome and identify areas of uncertainty requiring further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glutamine has been shown to promote heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) release both within experimental in vitro models of sepsis (2-10 mM) and in adults post trauma (0.5 g/kg), although the efficacy varies and is dependent on the model used. The effect of glutamine supplementation on HSP70 release in children is less clear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 2 mM glutamine added to incubation media on HSP70 and inflammatory mediator release in an in vitro model of paediatric sepsis using whole blood from healthy paediatric volunteers. METHODS An in vitro whole blood endotoxin stimulation model using 1 μg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) over a 24 h time period was used to investigate the effects of 2 mM glutamine on HSP70 and inflammatory mediator release in healthy children. RESULTS The addition of 2 mM glutamine to the incubation media significantly increased HSP70 release over time (p < 0.05). This was associated with an early pro-inflammatory effect on TNF-α release at 4 h (p < 0.005) which was not seen at 24 h. There was a non significant trend towards higher levels of IL-6 and IL-10 following the addition of 2 mM glutamine, which appears to differ from the response reported in adult and animal models. CONCLUSION Glutamine supplementation of incubation media promotes HSP70 and early TNF- α release in an in vitro model using blood samples from healthy children.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Parenteral nutrition (PN) formulations are commonly individualized, since their standardization appears inadequate for the pediatric population. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional state and the reasons for PN individualization in pediatric patients using PN, hospitalized in a tertiary hospital in Campinas, São Paulo.METHODS: This longitudinal study comprised patients using PN followed by up to 67 days. Nutritional status was classified according to the criteria established by the World Health Organization (WHO) (2006) and WHO (2007). The levels of the following elements in blood were analyzed: sodium, potassium, ionized calcium, chloride, magnesium, inorganic phosphorus, and triglycerides (TGL). Among the criteria for individualization, the following were considered undeniable: significant reduction in blood levels of potassium (<3mEq/L), sodium (<125mEq/L), magnesium (<1mEq/L), phosphorus (<1.5mEq/L), ionic calcium (<1mmol), and chloride (<90mEq/L), or any value above the references.RESULTS: Twelve pediatric patients aged 1 month to 15 years were studied (49 individualizations). Most patients were classified as malnourished. It was observed that 74/254 (29.2%) of examinations demanded individualized PN for indubitable reasons.CONCLUSION: The nutritional state of patients was considered critical in most cases. Thus, the individualization performed in the beginning of PN for energy protein adequacy was indispensable. In addition, the individualized PN was indispensable in at least 29.2% of PN for correction of alterations found in biochemical parameters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An increased but unpredictable risk of malnutrition is associated with hospitalization, especially in children with chronic diseases. We investigated the applicability of Screening Tool for Risk of Impaired Nutritional Status and Growth (STRONGkids), an instrument proposed to estimate the risk of malnutrition in hospitalized children. We also evaluated the role of age and co-morbidities as risk for malnutrition. METHODS The STRONGkids consists of 4 items providing a score that classifies a patient in low, moderate, high risk for malnutrition. A prospective observational multi-centre study was performed in 12 Italian hospitals. Children 1-18 years consecutively admitted and otherwise unselected were enrolled. Their STRONGkids score was obtained and compared with the actual nutritional status expressed as BMI and Height for Age SD-score. RESULTS Of 144 children (75 males, mean age 6.5 ± 4.5 years), 52 (36%) had an underlying chronic disease. According to STRONGkids, 46 (32%) children were at low risk, 76 (53%) at moderate risk and 22 (15%) at high risk for malnutrition. The latter had significantly lower Height for Age values (mean SD value -1.07 ± 2.08; p = 0.008) and BMI values (mean SD-values -0.79 ± 2.09; p = 0.0021) in comparison to other groups. However, only 29 children were actually malnourished. CONCLUSIONS The STRONGkids is easy to administer. It is highly sensitive but not specific. It may be used as a very preliminary screening tool to be integrated with other clinical data in order to reliably predict the risk of malnutrition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Monitoring nutrition therapy is essential in the care of critically ill children, but the risk of nutrition failure seems to remain. The aims of the present study were to examine the prevalence of underfeeding, adequate feeding, and overfeeding in mechanically ventilated children and to identify barriers to the delivery of nutrition support. MATERIALS AND METHODS Children aged 0-14 years who fulfilled the criteria for indirect calorimetry were enrolled in this prospective, observational study and were studied for up to 5 consecutive days. Actual energy intake was recorded and compared with the required energy intake (measured energy expenditure plus 10%); energy intake was classified as underfeeding (<90% of required energy intake), adequate feeding (90%-110%), or overfeeding (>110%). The reasons for interruptions to enteral and parenteral nutrition were recorded. RESULTS In total, 104 calorimetric measurements for 140 total days were recorded for 30 mechanically ventilated children. Underfeeding, adequate feeding, and overfeeding occurred on 21.2%, 18.3%, and 60.5% of the 104 measurement days, respectively. There was considerable variability in the measured energy expenditure between children (median, 37.2 kcal/kg/d; range, 16.81-66.38 kcal/kg/d), but the variation within each child was small. Respiratory quotient had low sensitivity of 21% and 27% for detecting underfeeding and overfeeding, respectively. Fasting for procedures was the most frequent barrier that led to interrupted nutrition support. CONCLUSION The high percentage of children (~61%) who were overfed emphasizes the need to measure energy needs by using indirect calorimetry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No studies on continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) have analyzed nutritional status in children. The objective of this study was to assess the association between mortality and nutritional status of children receiving CRRT. METHODS Prospective observational study to analyze the nutritional status of children receiving CRRT and its association with mortality. The variables recorded were age, weight, sex, diagnosis, albumin, creatinine, urea, uric acid, severity of illness scores, CRRT-related complications, duration of admission to the pediatric intensive care unit, and mortality. RESULTS The sample comprised 174 critically ill children on CRRT. The median weight of the patients was 10 kg, 35% were under percentile (P) 3, and 56% had a weight/P50 ratio of less than 0.85. Only two patients were above P95. The mean age for patients under P3 was significantly lower than that of the other patients (p = 0.03). The incidence of weight under P3 was greater in younger children (p = 0.007) and in cardiac patients and in those who had previous chronic renal insufficiency (p = 0.047). The mortality analysis did not include patients with pre-existing renal disease. Mortality was 38.9%. Mortality for patients with weight < P3 was greater than that of children with weight > P3 (51% vs 33%; p = 0.037). In the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, the only factor associated with mortality was protein-energy wasting (malnutrition) (OR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.067-4.173; p = 0.032). CONCLUSIONS The frequency of protein-energy wasting in children who require CRRT is high, and the frequency of obesity is low. Protein-energy wasting is more frequent in children with previous end-stage renal disease and heart disease. Underweight children present a higher mortality rate than patients with normal body weight.

Abstract
Malnutrition affects 50% of hospitalized children and 25-70% of the critically ill children. It increases the incidence of complications and mortality. Malnutrition is associated with an altered metabolism of certain substrates, increased metabolism and catabolism depending on the severity of the lesion, and reduced nutrient delivery. The objective should be to administer individualized nutrition to the critically ill child and to be able to adjust the nutrition continuously according to the metabolic changes and evolving nutritional status. It would appear reasonable to start enteral nutrition within the first 24 to 48 hours after admission, when oral feeding is not possible. Parenteral nutrition should only be used when enteral nutrition is contraindicated or is not tolerated. Energy delivery must be individually adjusted to energy expenditure (40-65 kcal/100 calories metabolized/day) with a protein delivery of 2.5-3 g/kg/day. Frequent monitoring of nutritional and metabolic parameters should be performed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare a standard diet and a protein-enriched diet in critically ill children. STUDY DESIGN In this prospective randomized controlled trial in critically ill children, all patients received enteral nutrition exclusively and were randomly assigned to a standard diet or a protein-enriched diet (1.1 g protein/100 mL of feeding formula). Blood and urine tests, nitrogen balance assessment, and energy expenditure testing by indirect calorimetry were performed before the beginning of the nutrition regimen and at 24 hours, 72 hours, and 5 days after initiation. Demographic data and pediatric mortality risk scores were recorded. RESULTS Fifty-one children were randomized, and 41 completed the study. Of these, 21 patients received standard formula and 20 received a protein-enriched formula. There were no between-group differences in terms age, sex, diagnosis, or mortality risk scores. There was a greater positive trend in levels of prealbumin, transferrin, retinol-binding protein, and total protein in the protein-enriched diet group. These differences were significant only for retinol-binding protein. The positive nitrogen balance trend was also higher in the protein-enriched diet group; however, this difference did not reach statistical significance. No adverse effects or hyperproteinemia were detected in the protein-enriched diet group. CONCLUSIONS The standard diet provides insufficient protein delivery to critically ill children. Enteral protein supplementation is safe and can improve some biochemical parameters of protein metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutrition therapy (NT) is essential for the care of critically ill children. Inadequate feeding leads to malnutrition and may increase the patient's risk of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to describe the NT used in a tertiary pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). METHODS The authors evaluated NT administered to 90 consecutive patients who were hospitalized for 7 days in the PICU of Instituto da Criança, Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil. NT was established according to the protocol provided by the institution's NT team. NT provided a balance of fluids and nutrients and was monitored with a weekly anthropometric nutrition assessment and an evaluation of complications. RESULTS NT was initiated, on average, within 72 hours of hospitalization. Most children (80%) received enteral nutrition (EN) therapy; of these, 35% were fed orally and the rest via nasogastric or postpyloric tube. There were gastrointestinal complications in patients (5%) who needed a postpyloric tube. Parenteral nutrition (PN) was used in only 10% of the cases, and the remaining 10% received mixed NT (EN + PN). The average calorie and protein intake was 82 kcal/kg and 2.7 g/kg per day. Arm circumference and triceps skinfold thickness decreased. CONCLUSIONS The use of EN was prevalent in the tertiary PICU, and few clinical complications occurred. There was no statistically significant change in most anthropometric indicators evaluated during hospitalization, which suggests that NT probably helped patients maintain their nutrition status.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between energy expenditure (EE), biochemical and anthropometric nutritional status and severity scales in critically ill children. We performed a prospective observational study in forty-six critically ill children. The following variables were recorded before starting nutrition: age, sex, diagnosis, weight, height, risk of mortality according to the Paediatric Risk Score of Mortality (PRISM), the Revised Paediatric Index of Mortality (PIM2) and the Paediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD) scales, laboratory parameters (albumin, total proteins, prealbumin, transferrin, retinol-binding protein, cholesterol and TAG, and nitrogen balance) and EE measured by indirect calorimetry. The results showed that there was no relationship between EE and clinical severity evaluated using the PRISM, PIM2 and PELOD scales or with the anthropometric nutritional status or biochemical alterations. Finally, it was concluded that neither nutritional status nor clinical severity is related to EE. Therefore, EE must be measured individually in each critically ill child using indirect calorimetry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Critically ill infants and children often develop hyperglycaemia, which is associated with adverse outcome; however, whether lowering blood glucose concentrations to age-adjusted normal fasting values improves outcome is unknown. We investigated the effect of targeting age-adjusted normoglycaemia with insulin infusion in critically ill infants and children on outcome. METHODS In a prospective, randomised controlled study, we enrolled 700 critically ill patients, 317 infants (aged <1 year) and 383 children (aged >or=1 year), who were admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of the University Hospital of Leuven, Belgium. Patients were randomly assigned by blinded envelopes to target blood glucose concentrations of 2.8-4.4 mmol/L in infants and 3.9-5.6 mmol/L in children with insulin infusion throughout PICU stay (intensive group [n=349]), or to insulin infusion only to prevent blood glucose from exceeding 11.9 mmol/L (conventional group [n=351]). Patients and laboratory staff were blinded to treatment allocation. Primary endpoints were duration of PICU stay and inflammation. Analysis was by intention to treat. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00214916. FINDINGS Mean blood glucose concentrations were lower in the intensive group than in the conventional group (infants: 4.8 [SD 1.2] mmol/L vs 6.4 [1.2] mmol/L, p<0.0001; children: 5.3 [1.1] mmol/L vs 8.2 [3.3] mmol/L, p<0.0001). Hypoglycaemia (defined as blood glucose <or=2.2 mmol/L) occurred in 87 (25%) patients in the intensive group (p<0.0001) versus five (1%) patients in the conventional group; hypoglycaemia defined as blood glucose less than 1.7 mmol/L arose in 17 (5%) patients versus three (1%) (p=0.001). Duration of PICU stay was shortest in the intensively treated group (5.51 days [95% CI 4.65-6.37] vs 6.15 days [5.25-7.05], p=0.017). The inflammatory response was attenuated at day 5, as indicated by lower C-reactive protein in the intensive group compared with baseline (-9.75 mg/L [95% CI -19.93 to 0.43] vs 8.97 mg/L [-0.9 to 18.84], p=0.007). The number of patients with extended (>median) stay in PICU was 132 (38%) in the intensive group versus 165 (47%) in the conventional group (p=0.013). Nine (3%) patients died in the intensively treated group versus 20 (6%) in the conventional group (p=0.038). INTERPRETATION Targeting of blood glucose concentrations to age-adjusted normal fasting concentrations improved short-term outcome of patients in PICU. The effect on long-term survival, morbidity, and neurocognitive development needs to be investigated.
