ICU Kids' height: new study seeks accurate measuring methods
NCT ID NCT03913247
First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study looked at different ways to estimate the height of children in the pediatric intensive care unit (ICU), where standard measuring is often impossible due to medical equipment or sedation. Researchers compared several estimation methods to the World Health Organization's gold standard, which is done after the child leaves the ICU. The goal was to find a reliable method that gives accurate results, since height is used to calculate nutrition, medicine doses, and other important care.
