The Pediatric Critical Care Nutrition Program at Children's Hospital Boston is committed to bringing pediatric critical care teams together to collaborate for the common purpose of optimizing nutrition therapies in pediatric intensive care units. We aim to facilitate multicenter efforts to examine practice parameters, conduct clinical trials with meaningful outcomes, examine, appraise and synthesize existing evidence and to develop best practice guidelines related to nutrition therapy in the PICU. Our overall goal is to improve clinical outcomes in critically ill children.

Nutrition therapy for the critically ill child requires a multidisciplinary effort. This website is dedicated to all the dieticians, clinical nutrition specialists, pharmacists, nurses and physicians who are engaged in advancing the nutritional health of children with critical illness worldwide.
