Summary
This study tests the feasibility of a large study of stress ulcer prophylaxis in critically
ill children. Children admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit who are expected to
require mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours will be randomized to intravenous
pantoprazole 1 mg/kg or matching placebo once daily until they no longer need mechanical
ventilation.
