First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study looked at different ways to estimate the height of children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Accurate height is important for calculating nutrition, medicine doses, and other care. Since standard measuring methods are often impossible in the ICU, the study compared several estimation techniques to find the most reliable one. A total of 477 children participated.
