fluids and nutrition Flashcards
What happens to the intracellular and extracellular compartments after delivery.
Initially, ECV (vascular and interestitial) is greater than ICV. As the neonate ages, overall body volume increases, overall ECV % decreases and overall ICV % of body volume increases.
How do ELBW kidneys differ than preterm/neonates?
- limited ability to concentrate urine, so they diurese more because of all the solutes
- limited ability to reabsorb Na
- limited ability to excrete K
What calories are provided by different components of nutrition?
AA: 4 cal/g
dextrose: 3.4 cal/g
lipids (20%): 9 cal/g (?)
What is AAP recommended Fe supplementation?
Term: 1 mg/kg by 6 months of age, preferably though food sources.
Preterm: breast feeding - 2mg/kg at one month
Preterm: PT formula feeding - 1 mg/kg at one month
Whats a normal Na supplementation for pt baby?
Consider delaying 1-5d for VLBWs. Normal supplementation is 4-5 meq/kg/day.
What are comorbidities of hyper/hyponatremia?
Hypernatremia: G3-4 IVH
Hyponatremia: CP and SNHL
How is maternal milk in pt babies different than term?
Higher in Na and protein, but still not high enough to meet needs
What are the benefits of lactoferrin
Chelates iron and prevents pathogen growth, limits excessive immune response
Which type of pasteurization is best
Holder pasteurization is ideal, 62 deg C for 30 minutes. Preserves bacteria static activity of milk. Eradicates HIV and CMV.
Boiling is most damaging.
What does oxytocin do
Stimulates cells in mammary glands to contract, responsible for let down
What does prolactin do
Responsible for growth of mammary tissue and milk production/secretion
What are disadvantages of donor milk
Low in DHA. Pasteurization depletes a lot of the immune system benefits
How is PT formula different than term?
Whey:casein 60:40 Less lactose, more glucose Higher protein Higher mct Higher ca:ph ratio (1.8-2.1)
What is the normal urinary concentration of Na and K?
Na: 20-40, 70 when on furosemide
K: 10-30 mmol/L
What is adequate intake of Ca and Ph in:
term, enterally:
preterm, enterally:
preterm, iv:
term enterally: Ca 70mg/kg/day, Ph 100mg/day
PT enterally: Ca 150-220 mg/kg/day; Ph 60-140 mg/kg/day; Ca:P 1.8-2:1
PT iv: Ca: 65-100 mg/kgday; Ph 50-80 mg/kg/day; ca:P 1.3 -1.7 :1
Which vitamin deficiency is more common, fat soluble or water soluble?
Fat soluble (in malabsorption, liver cholestasis, short gut)
What is Vit B1 deficiency?
B1 is Thaimine. Used for pentose phosphate pathway and oxidative decarboxylation.
Thiamine deficiency is BeriBeri: neurologic and cardiac symptoms. Not seen in infants because B1 is present in breastmilk and formula
What is Vitamin B2 deficiency?
B2 is Riboflavin. Catalyzes ox-redux reactions.
Riboflavin deficiency results in dermatitis, cheilosis, glossitis
What is Vit B3 deficiency?
B3 is niacin. Niacin mediates ox-redox rxns. Deficiency is pellagra, classic 4 Ds: death, dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia
What is Vit B7 deficiency?
B7 is biotin. Deficiency = glossitis, dermatitis, loss of appetite, nausea
What is Vit B5 deficiency?
B5 is pantothenic acid, a component of coenzyme A.
Deficiency not seen in PT
What is Vit B6 deficiency?
B6 is pyridoxine. Part of coenzyme involving AA metabolism. Deficiency not seen in PT.
What is Vit C deficiency?
C is ascorbic acid. Classically deficiency causes scurvy: sore, spongy gums, loose teeth, fragile vessels, anemia, swollen joints. Not seen in PT. Vit C also increases Fe absorption
What is Vit B12 deficiency?
B12 is cyanocobalamin, important for hematopoiesis. Deficiency causes megaloblastic anemia and neuro dysfunction. Can be seen in strict vegetarian and vegan diets, or SBS where TI is removed.
What is B9 deficiency?
B9 is folate. Folate involved AA synthesis. Most common vit deficiency in US, associated with NTD in neonates.
