fluids and nutrition Flashcards

1
Q

What happens to the intracellular and extracellular compartments after delivery.

A

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.

Q

How do ELBW kidneys differ than preterm/neonates?

A
  • limited ability to concentrate urine, so they diurese more because of all the solutes
  • limited ability to reabsorb Na
  • limited ability to excrete K

A

~50%

36
Q

what is the significance of DHA and ARA

A

docohexaonic acid and arachodinic acid are useful in neurodevelopmental and visual development

37
Q

which fatty acids are essential for neonates?

A

Q

what are LCPUFA >10C useful for

A

brain and retinal development

40
Q

what is the triene:tetrene ratio?

A

> 0.4 = EFA deficiency. an increase in mead’s acid (20:3) to arachodonic acid (20:4) –> DECREASE IN ADA

41
Q

what is the difference between whey and casein?

A

A

manganese and copper (Yellow)

45
Q

what is the ponderal index

A

mass:length
BW/crown-heel * 100
<10% = growth restricted
