Summary

This study looks at whether a volume-based feeding approach helps critically ill children in the pediatric ICU get the nutrition they need. Currently, tube feedings are often interrupted, so children may not receive enough calories and protein. The researchers will compare the volume-based method to the standard rate-based method in 20 children to see if a larger trial is feasible.
