Q

you have an obese px who suffered a car accident and is in the ICU, he is tolerating the EN; he is sedated and with hig values of PEEP in the mechanical ventilation; which would be the best option?

A

nasoyeyunal tube with continuous infusion

23
Q

mention the parameters with which we calculate gastric capacity for the bolus:

A

5-7 ml/kg per bolus

24
Q

according to ASPEN and ESPEN, how do we advance the infusion rate for continuous EN

A

start with 20 ml/hr increase 20 every 6-8 hr according to tolerance until you achieve the infusion rate goal

25
Q

according to ESPEN, which is the max osmolarity we can use with a peripheral catheter

A

850 mosm/L

26
Q

orden according to the best option for a central access, being 1 the first choice and 5 the last one

A
  1. subclavian catheter
  2. jugular catheter
  3. brachial catheter
  4. axillar catheter
  5. femoral catheter
27
Q

true

A
  • trilumen catheter have a higher risk of infection
  • hickmann catheter is an example of a tunneled central catheter
28
Q

false

A
  • portacat catheter shoeld be used for PN for a long period of time
  • PICCS are collocated for peripherical access
  • PVI solutions are prederred to chlorhexidine for skin preparation for a CVC
29
Q

its a way to control hypercatabolism other that nutrition:

A

all of the above: analgesia; pain control/temperature/prevention of infections

30
Q

energy recommendation that you would ose for a undernourished px with a BMI 15.5 to prevent refeeding syndrome

A

10 kcal/kg

31
Q

in reffeding syndrome ist very important to supplement the following:

A

thiamine

32
Q

in the prevention of refeeding syndrome, thiamine supplement should be given:

A

intravenously

33
Q

in the prevention of refeeding syndrome, thiamine should be administered

A

30 min before nutrition administration starts

34
Q

main electrolyte we need to monitor in a px with refeeding risk

A

P

35
Q

in the management of anemia in a px with refeeding syndrome, in which way iron supplementation should be administered

A

after 7 days we started nutritional therapy

36
Q

dose in which we supplement omega 3 in critically ill px as immunotherapy

A

2000 mg per day

37
Q

dose in which most investigations report toxicity with omega 3 supplementation

A

over 6 g a day

38
Q

px at risk in which omega 3 supplementation should be carefully assessed and probably should not be used:

A

thombocytopenia

39
Q

you are using glutamine supplementation to modulate inflammation in critically ill px which via is preferred?

A

PN

40
Q

dose in which we supplement glutamine in a critically ill px

A

0.5 g/kg

41
Q

main consideration to supplement a px with glutamine

A

px live function test must be normal

42
Q

due to the fact that arginine is precursor of nitric oxide, its supplementation is not recommended and/or should be carefully assessed in this type of pathologies

A

sepsis

43
Q

predominant features of liver disease in px with HPN are:

A

cholestasis in children and steatosis in adults

44
Q

mention the safest limit for CHO infusion in PN when treating liver disease associate to PN

A

maximum 5 mg/kg/min

45
Q

main consideration in lipids emulsions for PN in relation with cholestatic syndrome:

A

combinations of long chain/medium chain fatty acids with polyunsaturated fatty acid seem to reduce the risk

46
Q

when treating cholestatic syndrome as a complication of PN, what should we do in terms of infusion rate?

A

cycle PN until the liver has recovered

47
Q

when se treat cholestatic syndrome as a complication of long term PN we should consider the following

A

remove oligoelements from the PN

48
Q

its an important risk factor for metabolic osteopathy as a complication of PN

A

to much phosphorus in the PN

yearly

A

50

52
Q

in acute pancreatitis, which should be the preferred via of administration for the nutrition
