Fluid and micronutrient management are critical components of the pediatric nutrition care plan. In this preconference course, presenters use real-life case examples to take a deep dive into all aspects of fluid and micronutrient management from pathophysiology to the practical strategies needed to develop a pediatric nutrition care plan. The course will focus on fluids, acid-base balance, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, anemia, and refeeding syndrome.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Identify the possible causes of anemia for pediatric patients receiving nutrition support.
Describe how acid-base balance and fluid status are affected by the nutrition care plan.
Explain the pathophysiological processes leading to calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium balance in pediatric patients receiving nutrition support.
Develop a nutrition care plan using the knowledge obtained regarding fluids and micronutrients.
