Nutrition Goals for the PICU
1.
2.
Minimize protein catabolism
Meet energy requirement
Mehta and Duggan (2009)
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

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 Provision

Increased risk of overfeeding with
intubation/sedation
 Impair
liver function by
inducing steatosis/cholestasis
 Increase risk of infection
 Hyperglycemia
 Prolonged mechanical
ventilation
 Increased PICU LOS

No benefit to the maintenance of lean body
mass (LBM)
Agus and Jaksic (2002)
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

Hardy et al. (2002), Vazquez Martinez et al. (2004), Fung (2000), Sy et al. (2008), Briassoulis et al. (2000), Verhoeven
et al. (1998)
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
Mehta et al. (2009)
Limitations of IC
Air leaks around ET tubes
 Chest tubes
 FiO2 >60%
 Receiving dialysis


Kcal Requirements: Intubated
0-12 months

May require > REE
 Activity
not significant % of kcal
 Kcal used predominately for growth

Consensus is to provide >REE for infants
0-12 months despite intubation/sedation
 (~75-80%
of the DRI for age)
0-3 mon (~80kcal/kg)
 4-12 mon (~65kcal/kg)

Lloyd (1998)
Kcal Requirements: Intubated
> 12 months

Kcal goal = REE
 WHO,
Schofield, White equations
3y: ~60kcal/kg
 4-8y: ~50kcal/kg


Activity and injury factors not routinely
used
 (exception):
REE x 1.2 for intubated burn pts
Agus and Jaksic (2002), Hardy Framson et al. (2007)

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
ASPEN (2010)
TPN
 Central
access
 No osmolarity
limitations
 Typical max dextrose
usually D25% however
can go up to D30%
prn
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

Fung (2000)

Essential Fatty Acids (EFA)
 Omega-6 source

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 (24% 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
Marcason (2007), ASPEN (2010)
Parenteral Amino Acids (AA)

Neonatal AA
(Trophamine 10%)

Pediatric AA
(Freamine 8.5%)

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

Used for >5kg
Contains Phos

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

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 gut
 GALT/reduce risk for bacterial translocation
 Trophic feeds: ≤20ml/kg/day
 Continuous feeds
 Initiate @~1ml/kg/H
 Advance by 0.5-1ml/kg Q4-6H
Infant Formulas
Term formulas: standard concentration
20kcal/oz
 Preterm formulas: 24kcal/oz
 Preterm transitional formulas: 22kcal/oz
 Can increase up to 30kcal/oz

 Increase
concentration by 2kcal/oz increment
 Use infant formulas to concentrate MBM in
term AGA pts, not HMF
