SCCM Resource Library-Feeding Children: What, When, and How? Supported in part by Mead Johnson Nutrition

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video transcript session, three speakers discuss nutrition therapy in critically ill children. Dr. Nilesh Mehta focuses on determining nutritional needs in critically ill children, specifically looking at energy and protein requirements. He explains the metabolic stress response in critically ill patients and how it affects the body's use of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids. He also discusses the challenges of accurately determining energy expenditure in critically ill patients and the importance of individualizing nutrition delivery. Dr. Sharon Irving talks about feeding children on vasoactive medications. She highlights the importance of understanding gastrointestinal perfusion and the impact of vasoactive medications on gastric emptying. She discusses current guidelines for preoperative fasting and the evidence supporting the safety of feeding children on vasoactive medications. Lastly, Dr. Ben Albert discusses nutrition in the surgically ill child. He emphasizes the importance of identifying malnutrition risks and implementing preoperative fasting guidelines. He also discusses the use of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols and specifically highlights the relevance of these protocols in special pediatric populations such as ECMO, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and intestinal failure.
