Nutrition Flashcards
adult maintenance fluid requirements
1500 ml + 20ml/kg over 20 kg
weight change concerning for malnutrition
> 10% in past 6 months
Mifflin-St. Jeor Equation
equation used to calculate fluid needs for obese patients
concentration of protein
4 kcal/g
concentration of lipids
9 kcal/g
calorie density of lipid solutions
20% = 2 kcal/ml 30% = 3 kcal/ml
concentration of dextrose/CHO
3.4 kcal/g
most detrimental consequence of refeeding syndrome
hypophosphatemia
fat soluble vitamins
A, D, E, K
water soluble vitamins
B, C
required dose of folate for pregnancy
800 mg
dietary sources of vitamin K
green leafy vegetables
vitamin D deficiency
serum concentration <30ng/mL
Components of enteral nutrition solution
proteins
fiber
micronutrients
water
protein-nitrogen balance
6.25 g of protein contains 1 g of nitrogen
nepro, novasource renal, magnacal renal
enteral formulas for renal failure
low protein, high amino acids, designed to minimize BUN
hepatic AID
enteric formula for hepatic failure
high conc of branched amino acids, low conc of aromatic amino acids, decrease risk for hepatic encephalopathy
pulmocare, novasource pulmonary, nutrivent
enteral formulas for pulmonary disease
low conc of carbs, high conc of fats, minimize accumulation of CO2
glucerna, diabetisource
enteral formulas for diabetes
low carbohydrates, high fat/fiber, better glc control
maximum concentration of TPN that can be delivered peripherally in adults and peds
adults - 10% dextrose
peds - 900 mOsm/L dextrose/10%, 4% amino acids, 40 mEq/L K, no Ca
peds monitoring for TPN protein
BUN, LFTs, albumin, pre-albumin
peds monitoring for TPN lipids
triglycerides, bilirubin
lipids infusion rate in infants
max 0.15 g/kg/h
infused over 18-24 h (over 12 h in older children and adults)
peds monitoring for TPN carbohydrates
serum glc, urine glc
GIR (glucose infusion rate)
((rate)(concentration))/6(weight in kg)
optimal calcium/phosphate ratio
preterm infants - 2.6 mEq Ca: 1 mMol PO4
who needs vitamin K supplementation?
TPN infusion > 2 weeks
