Mehta and Duggan (2009), Hulst et al. (2006), Rogers et al. (2003)
PICU-associated malnutrition
Metabolic stress response Estimations of energy requirement Prescription and Delivery Preexisting deficiency/reduced somatic
stores
Mehta and Duggan (2009)
Nutrition Goals for the PICU
1. Minimize protein catabolism
2. Meet energy requirement
Mehta, N. and Duggan, C. (2009); Mehta, N. et al. (2009); Hardy Framson et al. (2007); Vasquez Martinez et al. (2004); Hardy et al. (2002); Briassoulis et al. (2000); Letton et al. (1995), Agus and Jaksic (2002)
Energy Expenditure
Pediatric patients may not exhibit significant hypermetabolism post-injury
Decreased physical activity, decreased insensible losses, and transient absence of growth during the acute illness may reduce energy expenditure
Agus and Jaksic (2002)
Energy Provision
Increased risk of overfeeding with intubation/sedationIncreased risk of overfeeding with intubation/sedation Impair liver function by Impair liver function by inducing steatosis/cholestasisinducing steatosis/cholestasis Increase risk of infectionIncrease risk of infection HyperglycemiaHyperglycemia Prolonged mechanical Prolonged mechanical ventilationventilation Increased PICU LOSIncreased PICU LOS
No benefit to the maintenance of lean body mass (LBM)
Hardy et al. (2002), Vazquez Martinez et al. (2004), Fung (2000), Sy et al. (2008), Briassoulis et al. (2000), Verhoeven et al. (1998)
Energy Requirements
Standard equations to predict energy needs unreliable
Indirect calorimetry is the gold standard to accurately predict REE
Unable to use IC for
all PICU patients
Mehta et al. (2009)
Suggested Candidates for Indirect Calorimetry (IC)• Underweight (BMI < 5th percentile for age)
or overweight (BMI > 95th percentile for age) *(EN or PN support)
• Failure to wean, or need to escalate respiratory support*
• Need for muscle relaxants or mechanical ventilation for > 7 days
Mehta et al. (2009)
Suggested Candidates for IC
• Neurologic trauma*• Children with thermal injury*• Children suspected to be severely
hypermetabolic or hypometabolic • Any patient with ICU LOS > 4 weeks
Limitations of IC
Air leaks around ET tubes Chest tubes FiO2 >60% Receiving dialysis
Briassoulis et al. (2000)

Parenteral Nutrition
PPN vs. TPN
PPN Peripheral access <900 mOsm/L Max D12.5% Can go up to D15%
with non-central PICC Usually requires
increased fluid allowance
TPN Central access No osmolarity
limitations Typical max dextrose
usually D25% however can go up to D30% prn
ASPEN (2010)
Fung (2000)
Parenteral Nutrition Kcal
Goal kcal dictate macronutrient goals Extubated: provide ~10% < DRIs due to
lack of thermogenesis Intubated: REE or ~80% DRI (dependent
on pt’s age) usually appropriate
20% Intralipid
Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) Omega-6 source
Concentrated source of kcal2kcal/ml
Coss-Bu et al. (2001), ASPEN (2010)
Parenteral Lipids
***goals dependent on total kcal goals
***do not exceed 60% kcal via lipid (ketosis)
***maximum lipid clearance 0.15g/kg/H

Marcason (2007), ASPEN (2010)
Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency
Can occur within “days to weeks” although clinical S/S may not been detected for months
Triene:tetaene ratio ≥ 0.4 Prevented by providing 0.5g/kg/day of lipid (2-
4% of total kcal) Symptoms of EFAD:
Alopecia, scaly dermatitis, increased capillary fragility, poor wound healing, increased platelet aggregation, increased susceptibility to infection, fatty liver, and growth retardation in infants and children
ASPEN (2010)
Parenteral Amino Acids (AA) Neonatal AA
(Trophamine 10%) AA attempt to mimic breastmilk Cysteine added to lower pH =
more Ca and Phos to TPN More fluid-restricted than pediatric
standard AA solution Used for <5kg
Pediatric AA
(Freamine 8.5%) Used for >5kg Contains Phos

ASPEN (2010)
Parenteral Dextrose
Glucose infusion rate (GIR)% dextrose x volume ÷ wt (kg) ÷ 1.44 Example: 15% dextrose @ 20ml/H (480ml total
volume) for 5kg patient: 0.15 x 480 ÷ 5 ÷ 1.44 = GIR 10
3.4kcal/g dextrose Net fat synthesis may lead to hepatic steatosis;
would not exceed GIR >12.5mg/kg/min in term infants (maximum glucose oxidation rate)

PNALD
PNALD Avoid macronutrient overfeeding in general Decrease lipids GIR ≤ 12.5mg/kg/min Cholestatic trace elements
Decreased Cu; no Mn
Cycle TPN as able Initiate EN asap (even trophic feeds)
Btaiche and Khalidi (2002), Kaufman (2002)
Other PN considerations
Cysteine: conditionally essential aa Decreases pH of TPN; increases solubility of
Ca and Phos Carnitine
Synthesis and storage suboptimal at birth 10mg/kg/day if anticipate exclusive PN for 2-4
weeks; can increase to 20mg/kg/day prn
Other PN considerations
Current trace elements contain no Se Parenteral requirement: 2mcg/kg/day Se deficiency
Cardiac and skeletal myopathy Risk factor for BPD Hypothyroidism Weakened immune system
Enteral Nutrition
Enteral Nutrition
Whenever possible, feed the gutGALT/reduce risk for bacterial translocation
Trophic feeds: ≤20ml/kg/day
Continuous feeds Initiate @~1ml/kg/H
Advance by 0.5-1ml/kg Q4-6H
