Influence of positive end-expiratory pressure on cardiac performance in premature infants: a Doppler-echocardiographic study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Nutritional support is an essential component of the management of critically ill and injured ICU patients. Optimal provision of calories and protein has been demonstrated to reduce morbidity, mortally, and length of ICU and hospital stay. Yet, a large proportion of ICU patients receive inadequate nutrition....
