EN and PEN Flashcards
List types of short-term EN
NG, nasoenteric (ND, NG), OG, OD, OJ
List types of long-term EN
PEG, gastostomy, jejunostomy
What is a PEG tube?
PEG=percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube
These are direct access from outside source to GI tract. Can handle well as long as keep site on skin clean.
More invasive. Allow for larger bolus feeds for food and medication compared to short-term.
What are the adv/disadv of a jejunostomy?
Jejunostomy adv: decreases risk of aspiration. don’t have to worry about reflux from stomach into esophagus. More difficult to place.
Also need infusion pump for feeds.
List types of peripheral PN
peripheral vein
midline catheter access
List types of central parenteral nutrition
central venous catheter (subclavian=SC, internal jugular=IJ, femoral)
List yptes of central PEN
central venous catheter (SC, IJ, femoral)
peripherally inserted center cathter=PICC.
More concentrated PN must be administered through
central veins
PICC is a ___ line
central
What is combination feeding?
administration of both EN and PN
bridge therapy for pts who are unable to meet caloric/protein req with EN
preserves enterohepatic circ and barrier function of the GI tract
risk factors for malnutrition
- unintentional weight change (>10% w/in 6 mo or >5% w/in 1 mo)
- body weight 20% under IBW
- NPO >7-10 d
- incr metabolic needs
- inadequate nutrient intake (alcoholic/substance abuse, chronic disease states, deficiencies)
describe acute malnutrition
status of protein-depleted pt w adequate fat reserve
desribe chronic malnutrition
depletion of pro and fat stores, w class emaciated-appearence
SGA for normal noursihment
no wt loss (<0.5-1 kg)
no abnormal dietary ntake
no hx of <2d of anorexia, N/V, diarrhea
SGA for moderate malnourishment
wt loss of 5-10% of usual wt in 6 mo
abnormal dietary intake for 1 mo
hx of anorexia, N/V or diarrhea for short time
SGA for severe malnourishment
wt loss of >10% in <6 mo
inadequate intake for >1 mo
hx of anorexia, n/V, or diarrhea for >1 mo
**=====> visual somatic protein wasting; BMI<18.5 `
Define Kwashiokor
protein malnutrition:
caused by dietary deficiency of protein for several wks/mos
Features of Kwashiokor
hypoalbuminemia anemia edema muscle atrophy delayed wound healing imp'd immunocompetence
Define Marasmus
protein-calorie malnutrition
devos over mo-yrs
Features of Marasmus
wt loss reduced BMR depletion of SQ fat decr tissue turgor bradycardia hypothermia
What is an appropriate visceral protein to monitor for acute nutritional status?
pre-albumin
t1/2=2-3 d
What visceral proteins are used to assess nutritional status?
albumin
pre-albumin
transferring
retinol-binding
Measuring ___ can be used to individual daily protein reqs
24 hr urine collection (UUN)
Define nitrogen balance
measurement of urinary excretion of nitrogen as urea
=N(in) minus N(out)
During times of stress urinary nitrogen excreteion incr or decr?
increases as stress causes proteins to be broken down.
List non-urinary sources of nitrogen loss.
sweat feces respiration GI fistula wound drainage burns
How to calculate daily nitrogen intake.
24 hr protein intake (g)/6.25
How to calculate nitrogen output
24 hour UUN (g) + 4
UUN=urinary urea nitrogen
4 is a correction factor that accounts for non-urinary nitrogen losses
What is the goal nitrogen balance?
zero for maintenance
*** +4 g for repletion
How many kcal/g of protein?
4 kcal/g
How many kcal/g of carbs?
3.4 kcal/g
How many kcal/g of IV lipids?
10 kcal/g
What to monitor for refeeding syndrome?
Mg, Phos, K levels
What is the metabolic response to stress such as illness or injury?
hypermetabolism and hypercatabolism
increased sympathetic NS stimulation
What occurs during incr’d SNS stimulation as a metabolic response to stress?
incr counterregulatory hormones (catecholamines, cortisol, glucagon, GH)
incr cytokines (TNF-alpha, interleukins 1&6)
incr immunomodulators–thromboxanes and prostaglandins
What is the end results of metabolic responses to stress?
accelerated proteolysis, glcogenolysis, lipolysis, gluconeogenesis, & insulin resistance
What does proteolysis during acute stress result in?
negative nitrogen balance and weight loss
What does a reduced tolerance to carbs during acute stress result in?
hyperglycemia
What does reduced fat utilization during acute stress result in?
hypertriglyceridemia
What is BEE?
Basal energy expenditure = BMR
metabolic activity req’d to maintain life
What is RRE?
resting energy expenditure or resting metabolic rate
of calories eq’d during 24 hrs in a non-active states
~10% higher than BEE (accounts for thermal effect of food, awake state)
What is TEE?
total energy expenditure
calories req’d to maintain current body wt
TEE=BEE x activity or stress factor
activity factor for bed rest/sedentary
1.2
activity factor for ambulatory
1.3
activity factor for anabolic
