Özet

Critically ill children are at risk for development of malnutrition. They frequently receive inadequate nutritional support during their intensive care unit stay. Malnutrition in critically ill children is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Nutritional support is an accepted standard of care in pediatric intensive care unit. Parenteral nutrition (PN) is indicated for infants and children who are unable to tolerate adequate enteral feeding to sustain their nutritional requirement. Estimated energy and protein requirement can usually met, unless the patient is fluid volume restricted. With adequate nutritional monitoring PN can be used safely for infants and children. Optimal use of parenteral nutrition has resulted in higher survival of critically ill children.
