3 goals of nutritional therapy in critical illness
- Prevent (further tissue degeneration)
- Promote (healing)
- Provide (support for anabolism)
4 phases of metabolic response to injury/illness
- Ebb phase
- Flow phase
- Anabolic recovery phase
- Multiple organ failure
4 characteristics of ebb phase
- Decreased BP
- Decreased CO
- Lower temperature
- Decreased O2 consumption
4 characteristics of flow phase
- Hypercatabolism
- Negative N balance
- Increased urinary loss of S, P, Mg
- Increased O2 consumption
Which phase is called the hypermetabolic phase?
Flow
Which phase is called the hypometabolic phase?
Ebb
What is the general goal of the flow phase?
Mobilize body resources to counteract ebb phase
What happens during ebb phase?
Initial responses to severe body insult (24 - 48 hours)
3 characteristics of Anabolic recovery phase
- Positive fluid balance re-established
- Positive nitrogen balance regained
- Strength returns
Which phase is the conversion from catabolism to anabolism?
Anabolic recovery phase
5 characteristics of Multiple Organ Failure stage
- Pulmonary failure
- Hepatic failure
- Renal failure
- Metabolic and respiratory acidosis
- Septicemia
4 things that can lead to multiple organ failure stage
- Septicemia
- Malnutrition
- Immunocompromise
- Hypoperfusion
Which starvation type has no catabolism?
Unstressed (uncomplicated)
Which starvation type has decreased RER activity?
Unstressed (uncomplicated)

- Stressed (hypermetabolic) is the opposite
Which starvation type has increased gluconeogenesis?
Stressed (Hypermetabolic)
Which starvation type has an increase rate of malnutrition
Stressed (Hypermetabolic)
3 indices most useful in clinical assessment of nutritional status
- Physical exam
- Laboratory tests
- BCS
7 steps in providing nutritional support to a hospitalized patient
- Assess nutritional status
- Estimate fuel source caloric needs
- Select route of administration
- Select appropriate diet
- Plan and initiate program
- Evaluate patient response (modify as needed)
- Plan transitions
Target amount of CNH in a hospitalized patient
24 - 48%
Target amount of COH in a hospitalized patient
10 - 25%
Target amount of fat in a hospitalized patient
30 - 50%
Two ways of calculating RER
RER = 70 * (BWkg)^0.75

RER = 30*BWkg + 70
2 types of parenteral nutrition
- TPN
- PPN
Which parenteral nutrition provides all nutritional needs for 24 hours?
TPN
Which parenteral nutrition provides half nutrition needs for 24 hours?
PPN
Which parenteral type is used in smaller hospitals?
PPN
Osmolarities of the two parenteral nutrition types
TPN: > 1,200 mOsm/L

PPN: < 800 mOsm/L
Which parenteral nutrition type is safest to use?
PPN
