Parenteral Nutrition Flashcards
method of providing macronutrients & micronutrients to those who are unable to assimilate nutrients via the GIT
Parenteral Nutrition
What are the INDICATIONS of PN
-Non-Functioning GIT
-Bowel Rest
-Severe Malnutrition
-Patient unable to eat orally ≥5 days
-Anticipated return to enteral nutrition is <7-10 days for Adults, 3-5 days for Infants/Children
CONTRAINDICATIONS of PN
-Functioning GIT
-Duration of anticipated treatment is <5 days provided patient is not severely malnourished
-Inability to obtain venous access
-Any prognosis which not warrant an aggressive form of nutrition support
What is the Harris-Benedict Equations for Basal Energy Expenditure in MALES?
TER = 66.47 + 13.75W (kg) + 5H (cm) - 6.75A (yrs)
Provide the GOALS and corresponding kcal/kg BW/day of Calorie/Weight Method
-Resting Metabolic Expenditure = 25
-Maintenance = 30
-Anabolism = 35
3 ways of estimating TER in Parenteral Nutrition
- Calorie/Weight Method
- Harris-Benedict Equation for Basal Energy Expenditure
- Indirect Calorimetry & Oxygen Consumption Measurements
What is the Harris-Benedict Equations for Basal Energy Expenditure in FEMALES?
TER = 655.1 + 9.56W (kg) + 1.85H (cm) + 4.67A (yrs)
Provide the GOALS and corresponding FACTOR of Harris-Benedict Equations for BEE
-Maintenance = BEE x 1.2
-Anabolism = BEE x 1.5
In Estimation of Fluid Requirements:
What are the approximate body fluid and fluid volumes by GIT secretion?
-Saliva = 1500 mL
-Gastric = 2500 mL
-Bile = 500 mL
-Pancreatic Juice = 700 mL
-Small Intestines = 3000 mL
Estimation of Fluid Requirements by Sex
-Ave. Males = 125 mL/hr (3L/day)
-Ave. Females = 100 mL/hr (2.4L/day)
Minimum acceptable Urine Output (UO)
900 mL/day
Estimation of Fluid Requirements by Method 1 (Adults & Older Adults)
Provide each category and corresponding volume
-Young, vigorous, previously healthy adult = 40 mL/kg
-Other adults = 35 mL/kg
-Older adults (elderly) = 25 mL/kg
Estimation of Fluid Requirements by Method 2 (Based on Body Weight)
Provide each weight and corresponding volume
-1st 10 kg = 100 mL/kg/day
-2nd 10 kg = 50 mL/kg/day
-each addition kg for:
»> ≤50 y/o = 20 mL/kg/day
»> >50 y/o = 15 mL/kg/day
Estimation of Fluid Requirements by Method 3 (Based on Goal)
Provide each goal and corresponding volume
-Maintenance = 60 mL/kg/day
-Replacement = 50 mL/kg/day

-5% (Peripheral)
-35% (Central)
Guiding Principles in CARB REQUIREMENTS
- Glucose Infusion Rate should exceed _____
5-7 mg/kg/min
