Nilesh Mehta, MD, Assistant Professor in Critical Care Medicine Instructor in Anesthesia, Children’s Hospital Boston, Boston, MA

Description
"This program will provide an in-depth review of the recently developed
A.S.P.E.N. guidelines on pediatric critical care. Join this session
to hear common barriers to enteral nutrition therapy in the PICU,
with special emphasis on avoidable barriers resulting in enteral nutrition
deprivation and its consequences. In addition, you’ll hear the
incidence and consequences of caloric imbalance in the PICU resulting
from a discrepancy between energy requirement and delivery.
The expert panel of speakers will lead discussions on metabolic stress response as related to recent guidelines for nutrient intake during
ECMO therapy. Lastly, the role of pharmaconutrients in the critically
ill child will be explored in detail by illuminating key pharmaconutrients
(such as fish oils and antioxidants), reviewing existing studies in
the PICU population and discussing future application in this cohort."
