Q

Indications for PN
PEDS

A
  • *Premature Neonates** who
  • CANNOT* be fed or adequately fed by EN

Patients with congenital anomalies
omphalocele / gastroschisis

Patients with IBS / Necrotizing Enterocolitis / Short-bowel syndrome

Healthy infants & children
who are NOT fed within 3 days

Malnourished or/@ High-risk who are NPO

23
Q

Administration Concerns of PERIPHERAL PN
PEDS

Short Term - <2 weeks

Higher incidence of Phlebitis

Less risk of long-term complications

A

Requires LARGE fluid volumes to provide adequate energy need

Calcium Gluconate < 10 mEq/L

Maximum’s
~900 - 1000 mOsm/L

Dextrose < 12.5%

AA’s < 2.5%

24
Q

Which nutrient to CUT when too much Concentration?

Peripheral MAX:
900-1000 mOsm/L

A

AMINO ACIDS

NEVER cut
dextrose or Electrolytes

25
Q

Monitoring Glucose
for PEDS

A

HypoGlycemia is MUCH MORE of a CONCERN vs HYPERgycemia

Maintain Serum Glucose:
120-150 mg/dL

Consider decreasing FAT if persistant HYPERglycemia

_early INSULIN infusion to PREVENT HYPERGLYCEMIA is:
NOT RECOMMENDED
_

associated with significicant hypoglycemia & mortality
May be considered at 250-270mg/dL

26
Q

Maximum Glucose Infusion Rate
for PEDS

A

12 - 14 mg/kg/min

  • *55-65% of non-protein caloric intake**
  • never give less than 4mg/kg/min, need 2-3 minimum for protein desposition*

Need ALOT for brain development

Child is 6-9 mg/kg/min

Adults is:
3-5 mg/kg/min

27
Q

Protein Requirements
for PEDS

A

> 1.5 gm/kg/day
to prevent breakdown of endogenous tissue

Early Initiation of AA’s in Preterm Infants:
Prevents Catabolism / Promotes Anabolism
Stimulates Growth / Decrease HYPERglycemia + HYPERkalemia

28
Q

Starter PN / Standardized PN Solutions

A

PRE-MADE Parenteral Nutrition (central or peripheral)
solutions that contain
DEXTROSE + AA’s

Limited to 80-90 mL/kg/day

Rationale:
Provides EARLY ADMIN of AA’s to
very-low-birth-weight infants (<1500gm)
can be used on First day of life

29
Q

Pediatric Formulations for AMINO ACIDS
vs Adults

A

TROPHAMINE / Aminosyn PF
LOW concentrations of
methionine / phenylalanine / glycine
HIGH conc. of essential AA’s
(taurine / histadine / tyrosine)
L-Cysteines HCL 40 mg/gm of protein –> added at time of prep

Enzyme immaturity contributes to the need of essential AA’s

  • for adults = Travasol*
  • *OPPOSITE**, HIGH concentrations of met/phe/gly
  • low concentrations of Essential AA’s*
30
Q

Advantages of Pediatric Formulations
AMINO ACIDS

A

Adequate WEIGHT GAIN
even w/ below normal caloric intake

LOWER pH
increases solubility of Ca & Phos

  • lower incidence of*
  • *Cholestasis** in VLBW infants

Positive NITROGEN BALANCE

31
Q

PROTEIN CONSIDERATIONS
PEDS

A

24 - 32 non-protein KCAL** for **EVERY GRAM of PROTEIN
to achieve optimal protein utilization

Excessive protein >6 gm/kg/day
Aminoacidemia / azotemia / acidosis / increased BUN / lower IQ

INADEQUATE protein intake < 2.5 gm/kg/day
decreased Nitrogen retention / low serum albumin
edema / slow growth

32
Q

MINIMUM LIPIDS, and why?
for PEDS

A

MINIMUM OF:
0.5 gm/kg/day for preterm/term/infants
or
1.5 gm/kg twice a week for older children/adolescents

to PREVENT EFAD
Essential fatty acid deficiency, can develop within 72 hours of life

30-35% of non-protein caloric intake

important for brain development / cell membrane
& prolongs integrity of peripheral lines

33
Q

Parenteral Lipid Products
comparison

A

Omega 3 > 6

Fish oil –> decrease inflammatory mediators

  • *OMEGAVEN 10%**
  • *MAX is 1g/kg/day** –> but may be givin with other lipids
34
Q

FAT INFUSION Considerations
PEDS

A

MAX
<0.15 gm/kg/hr
forpremature infants
vs 0.03-0.05 gm/kg/hr for adults

  • *run over 12-24 hours**
  • *Isotonic –> can be through PERIPHERAL vein**
35
Q

Factors Associated w/ HYPERTriglyceridemia
PEDS

A

Premature Infants
Low levels of LPL & Adipose tissue
Carnitine Deficient
essential for xport of LCFA via mito for oxidation
Carnitine - Exclusive PN >4 weeks and or HyperTG

  • *Sepsis or Trauma**
  • *Liver / Renal Disease**

MONITOR
Serum TG’s –> HOLD fat if TG’s >250 mg/dL
Check for essential FA status in long-term PN or severe FAT malabsorption

36
Q

Four Major COMPLICATIONS with
FAT INFUSIONS

A

Risk of KERNICTERUS
FFA displaces billirubin from albumin –> more unconjugated bilirubin
LIMIT fat to 0.5 gm/kg/day to prevent EFAD

Risk or exacerbation of Chronic Lung Disease

Lipid Overload Syndrome
HIGH TG’s / fever / lethargy / liver failure

  • *PNAC**
  • *PN-associated Cholestasis**
37
Q

Ideal Calcium to Phosphorus Ratio

A

2** **: 1
(Ca) mEq per mMol (P)
or
1.7 mg : 1 mg

for preturm neonates exposed to MATERNAL MAG
OMIT MAG

38
Q

Factors Affecting

Ca & P solubility

A
  • *pH**
  • *Cysteine /** High Conc of AA & Dextrose –> GOOD
  • Lipid = High pH* –> BAD

High Temperature/Light –> BAD

Calcium & Phos concentrations

Calcium Salt

Order of adding Ca & Phos

39

  • *STOMA or FISTULA** output or Persistant Diarrhea

100-200 mcg/kg/day

42
Q

Other Supplementations for PEDS
in PN

HEPARIN
reduced phlebitis / improve lipid clearance / 0.5-1 units/mL

Intravenous Iron
ONLY for LONG-TERM PN-DEPENDENT children
who are NOT recieving frequent blood transfusions

43
Q

Transition from PN->EN
PEDS

A

Depends on DURATION of PN

  • DECREASE* amount of ALL PN
  • -> while INCREASING EN as tolerated
  • do NOT dilute or concentrate*
  • *formulas or breast milk**

D/C PN
when 3/4 or 75% of EN in neonates/infants
2/3 or 67% of EN in children

44
Q

Visceral Protein Measurements
PEDS

A

Serum Albumin
LONG half life –> 14-20 days
May be affected by:
albumin infusion / dehydration / sepsis / liver disease / trauma

Pre-Albumin
short half life,
good indicator of acute nutritional assessment / visceral protein pool
May be DECREASED in LIVER disease
and falsely ELEVATED in RENAL failure

BUN
low <5mg/dl = inadequate AA intake
high is >20 mg/dL

45
Q

PNAC

A

Metabolic Complication of Long-Term PN

Due to impaired secretion of BILE –> resulting in LIVER injury

DIRECT BILIRUBIN > 2 mg/dL

Can occur as early as 2 weeks after PN initiation

Associated w/ sig. morbidity & mortality:
Progressive Liver Damage –> Liver Xplantation
Cirrhosis & liver Failure

46
Q
