A major concern for those taking care of preterm infants is to ensure that nutritional intake meets requirements, thereby ensuring that poor nutrition is not rate limiting on outcome. However, establishment of an adequate intake is diYcult during early life in the sick infant. Dietary needs also vary, depending on maturity and nutritional and clinical status. Furthermore, measures of outcome ar...

Caloric and water requirements for basal metabolism in the hospitalized, not anesthetized children were calculated by Holliday and Segar in 1957 [1]. They developed an empirical equation estimating maintenance requirements: 100 mL/kg/day for the first 10 kg, 50 mL/kg /day for the second 10 kg and 20 ml/kg/day for the remaining kg with hypotonic solutions (saline 0.2%) containing 2-3 mEq/100 kca...
