Feeding plan for children in intensive care
This study tests a step-by-step feeding plan (enteral nutrition) for children in the pediatric ICU to see if it improves their recovery. It might help if your child is critically ill and can receive nutrition through a tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
