liver
Pediatric Amino Acid Formulas:
______ is ESSENTIAL in neonates
cysteine
Pediatric Amino Acid Formulas:
Babies need lower or higher Ca/P concentrations than in adults

important in PEDS TPN!
____ is a good growth medium

Fat:
1g –> ___kcal
9
what are some of the basic trace elements used in TPN
chromium
copper
manganese
zinc
What electrolytes are measured in mEq and what electrolytes are measured in mmol
Na, K, Ca, Mg - mEq
P - mmol
(2 in 1) vs (3 in 1) Admixutres
which one has fat
3 in 1
(2 in 1) vs (3 in 1) Admixutres
which one is made of only amino acids and dextrose
2 in 1….
(2 in 1) vs (3 in 1) Admixutres
which on do you give fat via the y site
2 in 1 (because it doesnt have fat…)
(2 in 1) vs (3 in 1) Admixutres
which one is opaque
3 in 1 (because is has fat in it)
T or F: filter 3 in 1 admixtures will eliminate all bacteria
FALSE
Central Vein Parenteral Nutrition or Peripheral?
for short term use
cannot be fluid restricted
peripheral
Central Vein Parenteral Nutrition or Peripheral?
implantable ports for long term
central vein…
T or F: Aluminum has no known medical function
true
Who is at risk for aluminum toxicity
neonates
and
impaired renal function
what are the issues that can from aluminum toxicity
fracturing osteomalacia
encephalopathy
microcytic hypochromic anemia
Calculating Aluminum Load:
What is the goal value?
< 5 mcg/kg/day
How to calculate Aluminum load
- get amt of Al from each ingredient
- convert the Al content in mcg/L to mcg/mL
- multiply the Al content for each ingredient by the volume used to determine the Al contribution
- add them all up
- Divide total Al by body weight for mcg/kg/day
when doing an admixture of Ca and P:
add which one first?
Add P first
for 3 in 1:
add ____ before fat
Ca2+
Filter parenteral nutritions:
0.22 micron air-eliminating for _____
1.2 micron air-eliminating for _____
(which admixture)
- 22: 2 - in - 1
1. 2: 3 - in - 1
What factors will affect Ca/P
Amino Acid concentration Amino Acid Product pH Dextrose Calcium Salt Temperature
what is the best Ca/P equation/ratio
??? there isnt??
she said “there is no “magic number” for Ca/P”
3 in 1 Compounding – likes acidic or basic environments?
basic
if acidic = more unstable
Ca/P – likes acidic or basic environments?
acidic
basic = less unstable – I think ……
what are the references for TPN that she gave us…
ASHP
USP 797, yoooo
FDA drug shortages
ASHP drug shortages
