This document represents the first collaboration between two organizations, American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition and the Society of Critical Care Medicine, to describe best practices in nutrition therapy in critically ill children. The target of these guidelines is intended to be the pediatric (> 1 mo and < 18 yr) critically ill patient expected to require a length of stay greater than 2 or 3 days in a PICU admitting medical, surgical, and cardiac patients. In total, 2,032 citations were scanned for relevance. The PubMed/Medline search resulted in 960 citations for clinical trials and 925 citations for cohort studies. The EMBASE search for clinical trials culled 1,661 citations. In total, the search for clinical trials yielded 1,107 citations, whereas the cohort search yielded 925. After careful review, 16 randomized controlled trials and 37 cohort studies appeared to answer one of the eight preidentified question groups for this guideline. We used the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation criteria to adjust the evidence grade based on assessment of the quality of study design and execution. These guidelines are not intended for neonates or adult patients. The guidelines reiterate the importance of nutritional assessment, particularly the detection of malnourished patients who are most vulnerable and therefore potentially may benefit from timely intervention. There is a need for renewed focus on accurate estimation of energy needs and attention to optimizing protein intake. Indirect calorimetry, where feasible, and cautious use of estimating equations and increased surveillance for unintended caloric underfeeding and overfeeding are recommended. Optimal protein intake and its correlation with clinical outcomes are areas of great interest. The optimal route and timing of nutrient delivery is an area of intense debate and investigations. Enteral nutrition remains the preferred route for nutrient delivery. Several strategies to optimize enteral nutrition during critical illness have emerged. The role of supplemental parenteral nutrition has been highlighted, and a delayed approach appears to be beneficial. Immunonutrition cannot be currently recommended. Overall, the pediatric critical care population is heterogeneous, and a nuanced approach to individualizing nutrition support with the aim of improving clinical outcomes is necessary.read more

TL;DR: This work aimed to summarize the available literature and provide practical guidance for the paediatric critical care clinicians around important clinical questions many of which are not covered by previous guidelines.

Shiga Toxin-Associated Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome: A Narrative Review.
TL;DR: This work reviews the current knowledge of STEC virulence, how societies organize the prevention of human disease, and how physicians treat its potentially fatal complications, and focuses on STEC-induced hemolytic and uremic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indirect Calorimetry: History, Technology, and Application.
TL;DR: The historical development, technical, and logistic challenges of indirect calorimetry measurement are reviewed, case examples for practicing clinicians are provided, and formulae to estimate energy expenditure are highly inaccurate.

TL;DR: The purpose of this manuscript is to review the nutrition-related recommendations presented in the 2019 European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, National Pressure Injury Advisory panel, and Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers/Injuries: Clinical Practice Guideline with further discussion of nutrition for pressure injury management in the context of the recommendations.

TL;DR: Wide variations in practices exist in the nutritional care between European PICUs, which reflects the absence of local protocols and scientific society-endorsed guidelines, and is likely to contribute to suboptimal energy delivery in this particularly vulnerable group of infants.

Nutrition Support in Critically Ill Children: Underdelivery of Energy and Protein Compared with Current Recommendations
TL;DR: A high prevalence of critically ill children who are not meeting their recommended levels of protein and energy is demonstrated in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

Enteral nutrition and cardiovascular medications in the pediatric intensive care unit.
TL;DR: This study suggests that many pediatric patients receiving cardiovascular medications tolerate enteral nutrition without adverse events, and further prospective studies are needed to determine whether ental nutrition can consistently benefit these critically ill pediatric patients.

TL;DR: Although immunonutrition might decrease interleukin-8 and gastric colonization in children with severe head injury, it might not be associated with additional advantage over the one demonstrated by regular early enteral nutrition.

TL;DR: Protein prescription in pediatric continuous renal replacement therapy may be inadequate and feeding practice standardization and research in pediatric acute kidney injury nutrition are essential to begin providing evidence-based feeding recommendations.
