Researchers test feeding methods to help sick kids keep muscle
NCT ID NCT06721923
Summary
This pilot study aims to find out if giving protein in large, spaced-out doses (bolus) is better than a slow, steady drip (continuous) at helping critically ill children ages 1-11 maintain their weight and muscle mass. Researchers will compare the two methods by measuring the children's arm size and thigh muscle with ultrasound over two weeks. The goal is to gather information to improve feeding practices for kids in intensive care.
