What is Early Enteral Nutrition and Nitrogen Balance in Critically Ill Children about?
The study investigates the impact of an aggressive early enteral nutrition (EEN) protocol on nitrogen balance (NB) in critically ill children. Out of 71 children, 62% achieved positive NB after 5 days of EEN, significantly improving from none on day 1, while somatic protein status also normalized. The findings suggest that early and adequate nutritional support can enhance protein and energy balance during acute stress in pediatric patients.
