TL;DR: In critically ill children, withholding parenteral nutrition for 1 week in the ICU was clinically superior to providing early parenTERal nutrition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Worldwide Survey of Nutritional Practices in PICUs.
Dorian Kerklaan,Tom Fivez,Nilesh M. Mehta,Dieter Mesotten,Joost van Rosmalen,Jessie M. Hulst,Greet Van den Berghe,Koen F. M. Joosten,Sascha Verbruggen +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a two-part online, international survey to assess current nutritional practices in critically ill children worldwide, which is composed of 59 questions regarding nutritional strategies and protocols (July-November 2013).
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of withholding early parenteral nutrition completing enteral nutrition in pediatric critically ill patients (PEPaNIC trial): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Tom Fivez,Dorian Kerklaan,Sascha Verbruggen,Ilse Vanhorebeek,Sören Verstraete,Dick Tibboel,Gonzalo Garcia Guerra,Pieter Wouters,Ari R. Joffe,Koen F.M. Joosten,Dieter Mesotten,Greet Van den Berghe +11 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that withholding parenteral nutrition in children early during critical illness reduces the incidence of new infections and accelerates recovery and this large international RCT will help physicians to gain more insight in the clinical effects of omitting PN during the first week of critical illness in children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Venous thromboembolism in SARS-CoV-2 patients: only a problem in ventilated ICU patients, or is there more to it?
Maarten Criel,Maarten Falter,Jasmien Jaeken,Margaretha Van Kerrebroeck,Isabelle Lefere,Liesbeth Meylaerts,Dieter Mesotten,Margot Vander Laenen,Tom Fivez,Michiel Thomeer,David Ruttens +10 more
TL;DR: Insidious venous thromboembolism (VTE) is mainly a problem in ICU-ventilated SARS-CoV-2 patients, while patients in the general ward, treated with thromboprophylaxis (0.5 mg·kg−1), had a low incidence of insidious VTE.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Analysis of Reliability and Accuracy of Muscle Thickness Ultrasonography in Critically Ill Children and Adults
Tom Fivez,Alexandra Hendrickx,Tom Van Herpe,Dirk Vlasselaers,Lars Desmet,Greet Van den Berghe,Dieter Mesotten +6 more
TL;DR: Although the interobserver variability is acceptable in the pediatric population, the intraob server variability is too large with respect to the expected reduction in muscle thickness in adults.
