Interventions

OTHERStepwise Enteral Nutritional Algorithm

A standardized, stepwise protocol for the initiation, advancement, and maintenance of enteral nutrition in critically ill children. It includes specific guidelines for caloric targets, managing feeding intolerance (vomiting, diarrhea, distention), and standardized fasting times for procedures to minimize interruptions.
