Nutritional Monitoring of a Pediatric Burn Patient

Deborah A. Hutsler, R.D., L.D., CNSD

Children's Hospital Medical Center, Akron, Ohio

The pediatric burn patient presents a particular challenge nutritionally. Nutritional reserves are limited, and excesses are often poorly tolerated. Ongoing monitoring is essential for discovering at an early stage the dynamic shifts in energy, protein, and other nutrients that may be occurring. Adequate enteral intake may be difficult to achieve as a result of repeated holding of feedings on surgery days and gastrointestinal tolerance problems such as poor gastric emptying and abdominal distention. This case report illustrates techniques, such as the nutritional assessment record and parenteral nutrition evaluation form, which may assist the clinician in optimizing the nutritional management of the patient.
