[Actual feeding of children in intensive care units].
The paper deals with the actual feeding status of infants in intensive care units (ICU). A total of 275 children aged 1 month to 15 years, treated in the ICU of a Tushino children's city hospital, Moscow, for brain injury, pyoinflammatory abdominal diseases, and severe pneumonia in 2000-2006, were examined to study the dietary provision of children in the ICU with essential nutrients and calories depending on age and feeding mode over time in the early post-aggression period. Mixed (parenteral and enteral) feeding was found to provide dietary intake with significantly large quantities of essential nutrients and calories than enteral feeding alone. At the same time, the changes between the enteral feeding and mixed feeding groups in such indices as the quantity of ingested protein, fat, and calories were significant (p < 0.05).
