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!
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, 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
protein synthesis in 1 day by average 70 kg male?
250 g/day of protein
Tg breakdown to what?
glycerol and fatty acids
essential fatty acids?
linolenic acid and linoleic acid.e
essential amino acids?
BCAA leucine isoleucine valine
+ histidine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan
