Protein and Energy Interactions in Critically Ill Childre

Conditions
We want to study protein, glucose and lipid metabolism in critically ill septic children admitted to the PICU. As these children often receive insulin because of hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance, we want to study the effect of different nutritional regimens and insulin on their metabolism.
