Q

What causes BPD

A

Genetics play a role. Is linked to ventilator trauma. ROS which the neonate has no antioxidants to neutralize. < 28 weeks. Poor Vit A nutriture.

25
Medical treatment of BPD
Mechanical ventilation. EN/PN. Vit A supplementation.
26
hypoxemia
too little O2 in the blood.
27
Estimated kcal needs for infants with BPD
120-130 kcal/kg. May be as high as 160kcal/kg for increased metabolic demand.
28
Protein needs for BPD infants
3-4g/kg. Due to protein breakdown caused by corticosteroids.
29
What Vit & mineral deficiencies are BPD infants at risk for?
Vit A. Electrolyte imbalance. Delayed skeletal maturation and osteopenia.
30
Vit A needs in BPD
1500-2800 IU/kg/day, or 450-840µg/day
31
necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)
Occurs primarily in premature infants, or sick newborns. Intestinal tissue dies. The cause is unknown, but in likely due to decreased blood flow to the bowel, which keeps it from producing the normal protective mucus. Feedings are stopped to allow bowel to rest.
32
How to prevent NEC
administer probiotics to the pre-term infant.
33
Consensus Definition of ALI
Acute Lung Injury. Acute onset of diffuse bilateral pulmonary infiltrates by chest radiograph; a partial pressureof arterial oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) < 18mmHg, or no clinical evidence of fluid overload.
34
ARDS
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Acute onset of diffuse bilateral pulmonary infiltrates by chest x-ray; a partial pressure of arterial oxygen/fraction if inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiFO2) <18mmHg or no clinical evidence of fluid overload.
35
What is the average duration of mechanical ventilation?
10-14 days.
36
What are the two most common general caused of ALI or ARDS
Direct lung injury eg, aspiration, smoke inhalation, etc. And, Indirect lung injury caused by incitation of a systemic inflammatory response (e.g. sepsis, shock, parcreatitis, etc.).
37
Pathophysiology of ALI & ARDS
Pulmonary edema increases the thickness of the alveolar & capillary space which impairs gas exchange leading to hypoxia and increased work of breathing (WOB).
38
Treatment of ALI & ARDS
O2 therapy via nasal cannula, CPAP, mask. Mechanical ventilation via PEEP. Treatment of underlying cause.
39
Pharmacologic Treatment of ALI & ARDS
Respiratory stimulants. Bronchodilators. Antibiotics. Steroids. Sedatives & narcotics. Paralytic agents such as propofol.
40
propofol
2 kcal/mL. A type of anesthetic
41
Nutrition support should be initiated...
within 24-28 hours of achieved hemodynamic stability.
42
Rapid nutrition support in ALI and ARDS may help
Blunt the stress response. Prevent stress ulceration. May prevent nosocomial pneumonia
43
Why might indirect calorimetry by limited in ALI & ARDS?
IC may be limited in this population by prohibitive levels of FiO2 (>0.6).
44
In general, an RQ >1 indicates ? in ALI & ARDS
Excess CO2 production, lipogenesis, & overfeeding. But can be affected by other factors such a stress and hypermetabolism.
45
Protein requirements in ALI and ARDS
Protein needs are increased with respiratory failure. 1.2-1.5g/kg. Evaluate needs with N balance.
46
RQ is changed by?
TOTAL amount of calories fed, not by the particular substrate.
47
Hypocaloric feeding of the obese ALI/ARDS pt
Goals of 60-70% or target or 11-14 kcal/g (20-22 kcal/kg per Nelms). 2.0-2.5g/kg of protein
48
minute ventilation
The total lung ventilation per minute, the product of tidal volume and respiration rate. It is measured by expired gas collection for a period of 1 to 3 minutes.
49
Overfeeding in ALI & ARDS can lead to?
Increased lipogenesis. Increased glucose levels. Hepatic dysfunction. Inability to wean from the vent.
50
Prokinetics
Increase gastric emptying and promote gut motility
51
metoclopramide
Stimulates gastric & duodenal motility. Good for short term use, but less effective over time. Has parkinsonian side effects.
52
Erythromycin
Antibiotic acts as a motilin. Only effective over the short term as receptors are down regulated.
53
Enteral naloxone & Enteral glutamine
Show promise at reducing gastric residual volumes and promoting tube feed tolerance
54
Oxepa
Calorically dense: 1.5 kcal/mL - good for fluid restricted pt. Antioxidants C, E, beta-carotene. Oil blend: 4.6gL EPA, 4g/L GLA - modulates inflammatory response. Meets 24 RDIs in 946mL.
55
Benefits of omega-3 in ALI & ARDS
Reduced vent days. Decreased ICU LOS. Decreased new organ failure.
56
Omega-3 fats are the building blocks for
anti-inflammatory EPA and DHA
57
How to feed ALI & ARDS pt
Continuous infusion. NG, ND, NJ-prefered. 10-40mL/hr, increase 10-20mL/hr q 8-12 hrs. Calculate for 22hrs to accommodate predicted time off EN.
58
Maximum glucose infusion rate in the critically ill
3-5 mg/kg/minute. PN
59
Specific electrolytes to monitor in respiratory failure
Phosphorous. Magnesium. Potassium
60
Refeeding syndrome
Intracellular shift of K, Mg, and PO4. Risk of HF. Can occur with any type of feeding: PO, EN, PN.
61
When to wean from EN?
When PO intake reaches 60% of EER.
