13/14 - Pediatric Nutrition Flashcards
Protein Considerations
for PEDS
- *24 to 32**
- *non-protein Kcal** for every gram of protein
Excessive protein intake > 6 gm/kg/day
inadequate protein intake < 2.5 gm/kg/day
Important Lipid Considerations
for PEDS
- *to PREVENT EFAD (essential FA deficiency):**
- can develop within 72 hours of life*
Minimum of 0.5 gm/kg per day (preterm/term/infants)
or
1.5 gm/kg twice a week
(older children/adolescents)
Still 30-35% of non-caloric intake
Factors associated with
HYPERTrigliceridemia
for Preterm Infants
Carnitine - Exclusive PN > 4 weeks and/or hypertriglyceridemia
Dose: 2-5 mg/kg/day (up to 20 mg/kg/day)
Low levels of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and adipose tissues
Carnitine deficient
Accretion occurs during last trimester of gestation
Essential for transport of long-chain fatty acids via mitochondrial membrane for oxidation
Ideal
Calcium - Phosphate
RATIO
for peds
Calcium - Phosphate
2 : 1
(mEq per mMol)
or
1.7 : 1
(mg to mg)
- Promote highest retention of Ca and P
- Simulate in utero bone mineral accretion rates

Maintanence Fluid Requirements
for NEONATES
PRENATES NEED MORE vs Normal Term
Very low birth weight infants
High surface area to mass ratio & immature renal fxn
–> increased water loss
Antidiuretic Period (24-28hrs of life) **Table will be given**
Causes for INCREASED Water Loss
in PEDS
Fever
10-15% for each 1* > 38*
Radient Warmer
Burns / Diarhea
Tachypnea / Emesis
Nasogastric Suction / Polyuria / Surgical Drains
Decreased water needs
Incubator / Humidified Ventilator
Oliguria / anuria / HypoThyroidism
Routine IV Maintenance Fluids
NEONATES
D10% + electrolytes
INFANTS > 3kg
- *D5% / 0.45% NaCl + KCL 20** mEq/L
- younger infants may require D10%*
Children & Adolescents
D5%/0.45% NaCl + KCl 20 mEq/L
D5%/0.9% NaCl + KCl 20 mEq/L
0.9% NaCl + KCl 20 mEq/L
depends on sodium & free water needed
Calculating % Fluid Deficit
in PEDS with Dehydration
1kg weight loss = 1 Liter fluid deficit
- *Previous Weight - Current Weight** x 100%
- *Previous Weight**
Most common cause of Dehydration:
Vomiting / Diarrhea
3 Severities of DEHYDRATION
for
INFANTS
5-9-10(15)
Mild
5% (50 mL/kg)
- *Moderate**
- *9%** (90mL/kg)
- *SEVERE DEHYDRATION**
- *10-15%** (100-150mL/kg)
3 Severities of DEHYDRATION
for
OLDER CHILD
3 - 6 - 10
Mild
3% (30mL/kg)
- *Moderate**
- *6%**
- *SEVERE DEHYDRATION**
- *10%**
Which TYPE of DEHYDRATION?
Excessive Vomiting or Urine Loss
Hemorrhage
Decreased Fluid Intake
Gastroenteritis
ISOTONIC
MOST COMMON
Na = 130-150 mEq/L
&
280-300 moSm/L
Which TYPE of DEHYDRATION?
Heat Stroke
Child w/ diarrhea who has been replenished with:
WATER
to replace losses
improper infant formula mixing
- *HypoTonic**
- least common*
Na = <130 mEq/L
&
<280 moSm/L
Which TYPE of DEHYDRATION?
Diabetes Insipidus
Child w/ diarrhea who has been replenished with:
Hypertonic Soup / Boiled Milk
Improper Diluted Infant Formula
HYPERTONIC
second most common
Na = >150 mEq/L
&
>300 moSm/L
Lab Findings for DEHYDRATION / Volume Depletion
for PEDS
INCREASED BUN
HIGH HEMATOCRIT
low Serum Bicarbonate
Phase 3 of Fluid Management
for PEDS
For Isotonic & HypoTonic Dehydration
- *NEXT 16 hours**
- *replace** (1/2 deficit)
- *+ 2/3 Maintenance Fluid**
only add POTASSIUM (K) if patient has MADE URINE
Phase 2 of Fluid Management
for PEDS
For Isotonic & HypoTonic Dehydration
- *1st 8 hours**
- *replace** (1/2 deficit) - (bolus fluid)
- *+ 1/3 Maintenance Fluid**
only add POTASSIUM (K) if patient has MADE URINE
Phase 1 of Fluid Management
for PEDS
Restore IVF
to PREVENT HypoVolemic Shock
- *0.9% NaCL**:
- *20 mL/kg** over 15-20 min
may repeat up to 60mL/kg within 1 hour
Applicable to:
all 3 types of dehydration
Special Considerations
for HYPERtonic Dehydration
Phase 2 & 3 - Rehydration Fluid Management
Deficit + Maintanence Volume needed for 48 hours
& infuse SLOWLY over 48 hours
D5%/0.45%NaCl +/- KCL 20 mEq/L
< 8-10 mEq/L/24hr
or < 0.3 - 0.4 mEq/L/hr
to avoid ceerebral edema / convulsions / death
Max Sodium Correction Rate
HypoTonic Dehydration
Phase 2 & 3 - Rehydration Fluid Management
< 0.5
mEq/L/hr
