Malnutrition has a tremendous impact onrespiratory functions.
Diaphragm mass & thickness reduced Respiratory muscle strength and endurance
reduced Increased risk of respiratory failure Prolonged mechanical ventilation if intubated

Avoid IV fluids unless in shock
Fluid boluses significantly increased 48-hour
mortality in critically ill children. NEJM June 2011 Oral rehydration
5 cc/kg every 30 minutes for first two hours
5-10cc/kg/hour x 4-10 hours based on level ofdehydration

Mid - Upper Arm Circumference(MUAC) is relatively easy to measure and agood predictor of immediate risk of death. It is
used for rapid screening of acute malnutritionfrom the 6-59 month age range (MUACoverestimates rates of malnutrition in the 6-12month age group). MUAC can be used forscreening in emergency situations but is nottypically used for evaluation purposes.

After a few hours of fluids begin a slowprocess of refeeding
How can you tell refeeding can go to fullvolume? They want to eat! Vitamins to use right away
Zinc, thiamin, vitamin D, vitaming A
Do not use iron right away as it can increaserate of infection.
Deparasite treatments as needed

Refeeding syndrome (RFS) is the result ofaggressiveenteral or parenteral feeding in a malnourishedpatient, with hypophosphatemia being the hallmark of thisphenomenon. Other metabolic abnormalities, such as
hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, may also occur, alongwith sodium and fluid retention. The metabolic changes thatoccur in RFS can be severe enough to causecardiorespiratory failure and death. This article reviews thepathophysiology, the clinical manifestations, and the
management of RFS. The key to prevention is identifyingpatients at risk and being aware of the potentialcomplications involved in rapidly reintroducing feeds to amalnourished patient.
