Summary

Gastrointestinal complications are common in critically ill children. GIC are commonly observed, as either a primary reason for admission or as a part of multiple organ dysfunction syndromes MODS in children admitted in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Despite its prominence in critically ill patients with MODS.

GIC are often ignored in PICU which often delays enteral nutrition preventing patients from getting adequate calorie and protein intake, ultimately leading to acquired malnutrition in these patients. The lack of a uniform standard definition of GIC adds to delays in its recognition. Critical illness can result in intestinal mucosal ischemia that further damages the gut barrier function
