26
Q

What circumstances would a central line be used, benefits

A

home use and/or greater than 2 weeks/ greater calorie intake, ideal for fluid restricted patients/ higher risk of complications/infections

27
Q

A

10 mEq/L

28
Q

What is the maximum osmolarity concentration, dextrose concentrarion, and amino acid concentration in a peripheral line for pediatrics

A

1000 mOsm, 12.5%, 2.5%

29
Q

T/F: If osmolarity of a peripheral line is to high in pediatrics electrolytes should be cut

A

False: Dextrose and electrolytes should never be cut, only amino acids

30
Q

What should be the calorie intake of carbohydrates in neonates and young infants

A

55-65%

31
Q

What should be the glucose administration to support protein deposition

A

2-3kg/mg/min per gram of protein intake

32
Q

What is the maximal glucose infusion rate (GIR)

A

12-14 mg/kg/min

33
Q

T/F: The younger the patient the more they need of everything

A

True

34
Q

What is the lowest glucose infusion rate for any pediatric patient

A

4mg/kg/min

35
Q

When is the only time insulin should be used in pediatric patients

A

When the glucose infusion rate is 4mg/kg/min and the serum glucose is greater than 250 mg/dl

36
Q

What is the minimum protein intake to prevent breakdown of endogenous tissue

A

1.5g/kg/day

37
Q

What are standardized parental nutrition solutions

A

pre-made parental nutrition solutions containing dextrose and amino acid to be used for immediate use

38
Q

What is the max fluid intake of starter PN

A

80-90ml/kg/day

39
Q

What is the most important advantage of pediatric formulations

A

Lower pH increases solubility of calcium and phosphate

40
Q

How much protein should be given in order to have optimum protein utilization

A

24 to 32 non-protein kcal for every gram of protein

41
Q

What is the minimum amount of lipids for preterm/term/infants, older children/adolescents

Q

What is the key factor that increases solubility of calcium and phosphorous

A

pH

45
Q

What are products that can be added to TPN to affect the pH, how is the pH affected when added
