Nutrition Flashcards
IBW equation
male: 50 +(2.3 x in over 60)
female: 45.5 + (2.3 x in over 60)
nutrition body weight equation
NBW = IBW + 0.25(wt-IBW)
when to use nutritional body weight
if actual body weight > 130% IBW
nutrition support has switched to what
nutrition therapy
when do we start enteral nutrition
as early as possible
all pts within 48 hours
malnutrition risk factors (8)
20% below IBW
invol weight loss >10% within 6 months
NPO > 7 days
gut malfunction
mechanical vent
increased metabolic needs: trauma/burn, high dose steroids
alcohol / substance abuse
nutrient losses: chronic disease states
what level of weight loss would be a risk factor for malnutrition
> 10% weight loss in 6 months
where are pts most at risk for malnutrition
ICU
what is NUTRIC
nutritional risk assesment score for ICU patients
NUTRIC high risk score
6-10
5-9 w/o IL-6
how to check protein status
weight
tricep skin fold
arm muscle circum
physical appearance
what is anthropometrics
protein stores
what is the best protein to measure
pre-albumin
prealbumin range
15-40 mg/dL
normal albumin level
3.5-5
if prealbumin low is pt malnourised?
not exactly, need to look at other factors
if prealbumin is decreased, what is CRP if pt is malnourished
CRP normal, <1
if prealbumin is decreased and patient just has inflammation what is CRP
elevated
what is protien-calorie nutrition called and what is it
Marasmus
decrease intake of food
some chronic dx pts
what is protien malnutrition called and what pts is this
Kwashiorkor
trauma / burn pts, catabolic and breaking down proteins
what is UUN
urinary urea nitrogen
measure of nitrogen released from protein catabolism
85-90% total excretion
what increases UUN
stress
increased protein catabolism
where do we lose nitrogen other than urine
sweat, feces, respirations, GI
what do we measure UUN for ?
measure the protein repletion adequacy
ideal nitrogen balance goal
+3 to +5 grams
nitrogen balance equation
(N in) - (N out)
n in = protein (g) / 6.25
n out = 24 hr UUN + 4
trauma/stress/surgery
critically ill
burns kcal
(hospital patients)
25-30 kcal/kg/day
TEE equation
REE x 1.2
goal RQ
0.85-0.95
mixed substrate
what RQ is overfeeding
> 0.95
what RQ is underfeeding
RQ <0.85
protein requirement for floor pt (mild to moderate stress)
1-1.5
NPC is what
non protein calories
carbs and fat
goal distribition for non-protein calories
70/30
70 from dextrose
30 from fat
patient with diabetes non protein calorie distribution
60/40
50/50
lower carbs
100/0 used when
100 percent from dextrose
used in bloodstream infection / sepsis
parenteral nutrion is given how
IV
parenteral nutrion other names
TPN, 3 in one, PN, TNA
parenteral nutrition indications
anticipated NPO > 7 days
can’t absorb nutrients through gut
small bowel/colonic ileus
small bowel resection
intractable vomit/diahrrhea
IBD
enterocutaneuous fistulas
hyperemesis gravidum (pregnancy sick)
peripheral PN, osmolarity restriction
total osmolarity < 900 mOsm/L
when do we do peripheral?
not much, should be short term and switched to central line
NICU is all peripheral
advantages and disadvantages of central line
adv: hypertonic, more calories
disad: infection risk, thrombus, air embolus, pneumothorax
CVC (central venous catheter) insertion sites
subclavian (SC)
inter jugular (IJ)
femoral
whats a PICC
peripherally inserted central catheter
longer term access
whats a triple lumen
three ports
one port used for TPN
where is subclavianh
chest
where is internal jugular
neck
where is femoral
groin
1 gram of protein = kcal
4 kcal
1 gram of carb = kcal
3.4 kcal
what do we use for carb source
D70W but dilute it so no more than 10%
maximum carb per min
4-5 mg/kg/min
1 g lipid = kcal
10 kcal
what do we need to check for with intralipid
soybean
egg allergy
glycerin
what do we need to check for with smof lipid
fish allergy
soybean allergy
SMOF lipid contents
soybean oil
medium chain triglycerides
olive oil
fish oil
types of fat lipids
SMOF lipid
intralipid
which lipid should we give most pts
SMOF lipid
max lipid per day
2.5 g/kg/day
how much lipid in propofol
1.1 kcal/mL
subtract from lipid requirements
risk with IV lipid and length we can hang
infection, pathogens can grow
only hang 12 hours by itself or 24 hours in TPN
TPN types
3 in 1 (carb, prot, fat)
2 in 1 (carb and protein, fat sep)
premix (no lipids)
whats an in line filter
filters TPN
catches pathogens, particulates
filter sizes for 3 in 1 and 2 in 1
3 in 1: 1.2 micron
2 in 1: 0.22 micron
premix TPN called what
Clinimix/Clinimix E
whats in Clinimix
dextrose, amino acid
no fat but compatible
electrolytes (E)
