what is the first step in refeeding management?
correct deficiencies of potassium, phosphorus, magnesium
When a patient is at risk for refeeding syndrome, initiate dextrose at ____ or initiate kcal provision at ___ kcals/kg.
initiate with 100-150 grams dextrose or 10-20 kcals/kg
total body water females + elderly
50% of LBM
total body water males <70 years old
60% of LBM
ECF (extracellular fluid)
1/3 TBW
ICF (intracellular fluid)
2/3 TBW
water gain (sensible)
800-1500 ml from oral fluid, 500-700 ml from solid food
water gain (insensible)
250 ml from water oxidation
water loss (insensible)
600-900 ml via lungs/skin
weight/age based fluid requirement 18-55 years old
35 ml/kg
water loss (sensible)
800-1500 ml urine, 0-250 ml GI
weight/age based fluid requirement 56-75 years old
30 ml/kg
weight/age based fluid requirement >75 years old
25 ml/kg
holliday-segar method for fluid (adults)
1500 ml fluid for first 20 kg, then add:
</= 50 years: 20 ml/kg remaining
>50 years: 15 ml/kg remaining
factors that increase fluid needs
fever, vomiting, NGT output, ostomy/fistula output, hyperventilation (10-60%), excessive sweating, burns
***fluid needs increase by 12.5% for each 1 degree above normal (fever)
factors that decrease fluid needs
fluid overload, HF, renal failure, SIADH, ascites, anasarca
estimating minimal adult IV fluid needs
1000 ml urine output, add 500 ml for insensible loss, add net GI loss or subtract net GI gain
maintenance fluids
hypotonic (1/2 NS)
resuscitation fluids
isotonic (0.9% NS, LR, plasmalyte)
