Who • Starvation induced malnutrition • Reduced Intake • Defective absorption • Physiological Stress / Expenditure • Burn • Malignancy / Surgery • Trauma • Patient in ICU… • CAVH / CAVHD (dialysis) • Short term / Long term
Nutritional Status Assessment No Gold Standard History & Examination
Parameters • Weight lost • Subjective / objective • 5-10%, 1 month • 10-20%, 6 months • Weakness • Central muscle wasting • Clothing / Photos • Lost of muscle bulk
Indirect assessment • Anthropometry • Triceps bulk • Skinfold thickness • Midarm muscle circumference • Problems • Inter observer variability • Affected by the patient’s hydration status • Patients own factors (jobs, activities, habits)
Indirect assessment • Creatine-height index • Urinary collection (patient need to have meat-free diets) • Muscle function • Grip strength • Respiratory status • Response to electrical stimulation • Delayed hypersensitivity • Test the immunity respond
ParametersOthers • Albumin • Prealbumin • Immune competence • Delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity • Total lymphocyte count
Biochemical markers • Albumin (T1/2=21days) • Transferrin (T1/2=8days) • Prealbumin (T1/2=2-3days) • Need to consider : • Synthesis rate • Degradation rates • Vascular losses Veterans Affairs Total Parental Nutrition Cooperative Study Group (1991) Perioperative total parental nutrition in surgical patients.

Caloric requirements • Harris-Benedict Equation • Male 66+(13.7 x wt.kg) + (5 x ht.cm) – (6.8 x age) • Female 665 + (9.6 x wt.kg) + (1.7 x ht.cm) – (4.7 x age) • Roughly • 22 to 25 Kcal/kg of actual body weight/day
Nutrition Support • Enteral Feeding • Parental Feeding • Total Parental Feeding (TPN) • Partial Parental Feeding
Enteral Feeding • More physiological • Less access complication • Less metabolic complication • Less volume complication • More economical
Enteral Feeding • Prevent intestinal mucosal atrophy • Maintain gut mucosal barrier • Decrease translocation of bacteria from GIT to circulation / peritoneum • Important mechanism for second phase of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SRS) & later multiorgan failure syndrome (MOF) • Retain normal gut flora distribution
Enteral Feeding • Nasogastric tube • Gastrostomy tube • Nasojejunal tube • Jejunostomy tube Bolus feeding Continuous feeding Feeding ideally should bypass or placed distal to the segment of disease / obstruction
Enteral Feeding • Different Formulary • (cost Vs medical need) • Polymeric formula • Osmolite / Jevity • Elemental formula • Contains low molecular weight polypeptide, free fatty acids • Partially digested form for better absorption • Modulate formula • Specially chemically prepared formula • Medium / short chain fatty acids • eg. COAD – less carbohydrate (H-CO load)
Enteral Feeding • Complications: • Diarrhea • Electrolytes / Fluid imbalance • Access complication • Dislodgement • Blockage • Breakage • Aspiration
Parental Nutrition • Venous access • Central • Peripheral • Osmolarity of formula • Most of them hyperosmolar in order to achieve the caloric requirement in relation to volume • thus Central venous access preferred
Parental Nutrition • 3 in 1 solution
Parental Nutrition • Additive • Electrolytes • Na, K, Mg, Ca, PO4 … • Trace elements • Copper, zinc, selenium … • Medications • Insulin … • Vitamin
Daily requirement Anabolism = ingested > excreted protein Catabolism= ingested < excreted protein • Protein • 0.8 – 1.0 gm/kd/day • in stress up to 2.5gm/kg/day • liver encephalopathy limited to 0.8gm/kg/day • Measure the nitrogen balance 24 hour urine • nitrogen (gm) x 6.25 = protein (gm) • protein is 16% nitrogen • Fat • at least 3 – 5 % of calories as fat is needed to prevent essential fatty acid deficiency • Limited to 25-40% total calories • too much… adverse effects on immunity and gas exchange, increase risk of sepsis • monitor serum triglycerides • rate < 0.1 gm/kg/hr • continuous lipid infusion promotes improved triglyceride clearance • 10% lipid = 1.1 kcal/ml • 20% lipid = 2 kcal/ml • CHO • minimum of 100gm/day for brain and RBCs metabolism • stressed patient limited to < 5mg CHO/kg/min
Overfeeding • Increased CO2 production • Increased Lipogenesis / fatty liver • Slower recovery • Energy requirement increased • Specific energy • Impaired immune function
Parental Nutrition • Complications • Access complication • Pneumothorax • Line infection • Deep vein thrombosis • Metabolic disturbance • Refeeding syndrome • Decreased PO4 if started with excess carbohydrate formula in severe malnourished patients • Cholestasis • Hyperglycaemia • Hepatic dysfunction • Sepsis • Fluid / electrolytes imbalance
Refeeding Syndrome • Intracellular movement of potassium, magnesium and phosphorus, as well as sodium and fluid retention associated with administration of glucose in poorly nourished patients • Potentially fatal • At risk groups • Severe malnourished patients with • Chronic alcoholism • Prolonged fasting patients • Prolonged IV hydration without nutrition
