nutrition & lytes Flashcards
daily caloric need
20-25 Cal/kg/day
25-30 mild stress
30-35 higher stress
fat/protein/carb/dextrose calories?
9/4/4/3.4 Cal/g
avg protein/fat/carb % intake?
20% protein
30% fat
50% carbs
protein needs
1 g protein/kg/day
caloric intake for 70 kg male?
1.5-1.7Cal/day.
pregnancy and lactation increase caloric requirement how much?
300 Cal/day pregnancy
500 Cal/day lactation
burn nutritional requirement
25 Cal/day + 30Cal/day(X % burn)
1-1.5 g/kg/day + 3 g/day(X % burn) protein
= 35-40 kcal/kg/day and 2-2.5 g/kg/day protein
Harris Benedict equation for basal energy expenditure
weight, height, age, gender.
max glucose administration in TPN?
3 g/kg/hr.
coloncyte nutrition
short chain fatty acids! = MC butyrate
small bowel nutrion
glutamine
immunonutrition = lower infectious complication
omega 3 FA, glutamine, arginine
respiratory quotient
CO2 produced / O2 consumed
RQ > 1
overfeeding… issues with ventilator
RQ < 0.7
starvation; ketosis and fat oxidation… give carbs
pure fat utilization RQ
= 0.7
pure protein utilization RQ
= 0.8
pure carb utilization RQ
= 1.0
glycogen stores breakdown
2/3 skeletal muscle, 1/3 in liver
starvation timeline.
24-36 hours glycolysis (from glycogen stores)
then ketosis
which amino acids increase in stress?
alanine and phenylalanine
GNG precursors (in liver)
alanine»_space; lactate, pyruvate, glycerol
obligate glucose users
peripheral nerves, adrenal medulla, RBCs and WBCs
how much nitrogen in protein
6.25 g of protein has 1 g of nitrogen
