divide NPC between CHO and Fat


RF vit and min

meet DRI and provide adding for repletion if needed


-monitor fluids and electrolytes carefully


trauma- ebb

right after event- everything decreased


-insulin falls because glucagon increases because of hyperglycemia

trauma- flow

once you have fluids and restoration of O2, everything is increased

trauma- glucagon

promotes gluconeogenesis, AA uptake, ureagenesis and protein metabolism

physiologically after trauma

increase in glucose production, FFA release, circulating insulin, catecholamines, glucagon and cortisol


-increase in flow of substrates but poor utilization of pro, cho, fat and o2


metabolic stress response in trauma

-energy production becomes more protein dependent, especially the BCAA


- isolucine and leucine and valine are preferred BCAA sources of fuel

loss of urinary K, PO4 and MG


-Hyperglycemia


-increased glue production


-conserve wter and Na to circulating blood volume

preferred route is oral but usually use combo of tpn, en and po
