Parenteral nutrition: Pediatrics Flashcards
What is the body water of premature babies, newborn babies, and one year old babies
80-90%, 70-75%, 60%
What is the Na, CL, and osmolarity in .9%
154,154, 308
Why do neonates and young infants need more water
They have a higher surface area, higher metabolic rate, and higher respiratory rates
Using the Holiday-Segar Method how much water should be given for weights between 3-10 kg
100ml/kg
Using the Holiday-Segar Method how much water should be given for weights greater than 10kg but less than 20kg
100ml/kg plus 50ml/kg for every kilogram greater than 10 left over
Using the Holiday-Segar Method how much water should be given for weights greater than 20kg
100ml/kg plus 50ml/kg for every kilogram greater than 10 left over plus 20ml/kg for every kilogram greater than 20 left over
What is the fluid requirement for neonates who are 0-2 days old
75ml/kg
What is the fluid requirement for neonates who are 2-4 days old
100ml/kg
What is the fluid requirement for neonates who are 4-6 days old
120ml/kg
What is the fluid requirement for neonates who are greater than 6 days old
145ml/kg
When would neonates need more water
radiant warmer, fever, diarrhea, polyuria
What is required for a maintenance IV fluid for neonates
Dextrose 10% with electrolytes
What qualifies as an infant
1 month to 1 year old
What is the best way to find the fluid deficit
previous weight-current weight/(previous weight)
What are the most common reasons for dehydration in pediatric patients
vomiting and diarrhea
What is the order for types of dehydration (most common to least common)
isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic
What are the best indicators for dehydration in pediatrics
increased BUN, high hematocrit, low sodium bicarbonate
What is the dose for 0.9% NaCl in pediatrics, what is the max dose
20ml/kg infused over 10-20 mins, 60ml/kg over 1 hour
How is fluid replaced in pediatric patients early who are hypotonic or isotonic dehydration, when does this take place
Replace 1/2 estimated deficit (minus bolus fluid) + 1/3 maintenance fluid, the first 8 hours
How is fluid replaced in pediatric patients late who are hypotonic or isotonic dehydration, when does this take place
Replace 1/2 estimated deficit + 2/3 maintenance fluid, next 16 hours
What is the correction rate for hypotonic dehydration
0.5mEq/L/hr
How is fluid replaced in pediatric patient who are hypertonic dehydration
Add deficit to maintenance fluid needed for 48 hours and infuse slowly over 48 hours
What are indications for parental nutrition in pediatrics
premature neonates who cannot be fed by mouth, omphalocele, gastroschisis, IBS, necrotizing enterocolitis,
T/F: A pediatric patient can be healthy and not be fed for 4 days before needing parental nutrition
Healthy infants and children who are not fed in 3 days will need parental nutrition
What circumstances would a peripheral line be used, risks
Up to 2 weeks/may result in adequate caloric intake, higher incidence of phlebitis
