ASPEN ch 17 - PN complications Flashcards
categories of PN complications?
mechanical, metabolic, infectious
most common complication associated with PN
hyperglycemia
why hyperglycemia?
stress associated, excess CHO admin
recommend target BG concentration between _____ mg/dL
140-180
PN should be initiated at ___ of estimated energy needs for first 24 hrs
half
CHO admin NOT exceed rate of _____mg/kg/min or ____kcal/kg/d in acutely ill
4-5; 20-25
giving subsequent dose of insulin too soon is referred to as:
stacking
rare reason for hyperglycemia?
chromium deficiency (makes insulin less effective)
hyperglycemia associated with these worsened clinical outcomes:
^ risk infection, poor healing, inability gain wt
why hypoglycemia?
excess insulin admin
abrupt PN d/c associated with:
rebound hypoglycemia
how to prevent rebound hyperglycemia?
1-2hr taper down of infusion
clinical manifestation of EFAD?
scaly dermatitis, alopecia, hepatomegaly, thrombocytopenia, fatty liver, anemia
a triene:tetraene ratio > ___ indicates EFAD
0.2
why PN need exogenous source of fat?
hypertonic dextrose infusion causes insulin secretion and reduction in lipolysis
__ based ILEs associated with immunosuppressive effects, exaggerated SIRS, reticuloendothelial system dysfunction
soy
how come certain LCFA impaire immune fxn?
interfere w/ phagocytosis and chemotaxis, ^ risk for infection
how does hypertriglyceridemia occur?
dextrose overfeeding or rapid admin rates ILE > 0.11g/kg/h
probs of hyperlipidemia?
impaire immune response, alter pulmonary hemodynamics, ^ risk pancreatitis
ILE intake should be restricted to < ___% energy or ___g/kg/d
30; 1
pancreatitis due to ILE hyperlipidemia rare unless serum TG > ___mg/dL
1000
when pro admin excess, metabolic demand of disposing of byproducts of pro metabolism ^, thus ___ can result
azotemia
prerenal azotemia result from:
dehydration, excess pro, inadequate nrg from nonpro sources
intolerance to protein load is characterized by____
^BUN
crystalline a.a. prevents ___ risk
hyperammonemia
why pt receiving both PN and warfarin need close monitoring?
vit K in the preparation interacts with warfarin –>therapeutic failure
pt with hx prolonged poor diet intake should have supplemental __ and __
thiamine; folic acid
vitamin that undergo degradation after addition to PN?
vit A
trace element deficiencies that may occur?
zinc, selenium
