New feeding protocol aims to help sick kids recover faster in the ICU
NCT ID NCT07307027
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a stepwise feeding plan for children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The goal is to see if following a clear, step-by-step protocol helps kids reach their full nutrition needs sooner and reduces feeding interruptions. Researchers will compare how long children stay in the PICU before and after the new plan is put in place.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
stepwise enteral nutritional algorithm (standardized feeding protocol)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, low-cost way to improve nutrition delivery and shorten intensive care stays for critically ill children.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to all hospitals. The protocol may not significantly change outcomes compared to usual care.
