The effect of high fat dietary modification and nutritional status on the outcome of critically ill ventilated children: Single-center study.

Conclusion: The high-fat enteral feeding protocol may contribute to the reduction of carbon dioxide tension with mild hypertriglyceridemia and negligible gastrointestinal intolerances as potential adverse effects. Optimization of nutritional status rather than dietary modification may improve ventilatory and survival outcomes in critically ill ventilated children.
