Summary

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) is prescribed to children with a non functioning gut. Timing of initiation of PN for critically ill children is a hotly issue. Therefore investigators aim to determine the optimal timing of initiation of PN among these children.This is a randomized clinical trial will be conducted at a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit(PICU) in tertiary care hospital. 140 participants will be randomized to receive either early or late PN. The 1st group gives PN on the 1st day of PICU admissions while the 2nd group gives late PN on the 7th day. Under-nutrition children, early PN will start on the 1st day while late PN begins on 4th day of admission. The outcomes are assessment of mechanical ventilation duration, PICU length stay, and mortality.
