Q

How should EN be initiated in stable non-critically ill patients?

A

Stable non-critically ill patients usually tolerate EN initiated at the goal rate (or advance to goal within 24-48 hours)
Standard EN protocols usually indicate to start EN at a rate of 50 mL/hr and advance by 15mL/hr q4h until goal rate
Bolus feedings may be advanced by volumes of 60-120 mLq8-12 hours

Q

In what circumstances do we use Adjusted BW?

A

If close to IBW, use ABW

If overweight (i.e. > 125% IBW), use adjusted BW for fluids. Use ABW with MSJ and Ireton-Jones but adjusted with HB

Q

Explain the post-op period in SBS.

A

3 phases:

7-10 days: Extensive fluid and electrolyte losses, large volumes of diarrhea, TPN
- Do not use the GI tract in this period (will lose fluid and electrolytes…)

Several months: Try to transition to use of GI. Reduced diarrhea volume, adaptation of remaining bowel, EN, transition to oral diet

  • This period could be short for some people, and may never happen for others
  • Could be trophic feed added to TPN to start

1-2 years: Continued adaptation of bowel, intestinal tract increases in length, diameter, and villous height. May get off TPN, or not. May also get transplant.

  • Individual tolerance mediates amount of fat after cholecystectomy, modest protein intake
  • Full fluid diet ASAP (clear fluids and milk)
  • 1 mL fluid/kcal; adjust for losses by fever and diarrhea
  • fat 30% of E, foods with < 3g per serving; small frequent meals

Avoid high fat foods, fried foods, foods with strong odors (nausea) and foods that cause gas (distention; subjective)
Surgery (cholecystectomy) – low fat diet initially, then return to healthy “normal” diet

Q

What diet do people with gallstones need?

A
  • Choose lean meat, 1 oz or 25g = 2g fat
  • Grain/starches, no fat but some may have 1-5 g if baked product
  • Hidden fat in granola, baked products (muffins, croissants)
  • Fruits/vegetables, no fat (Limit avocados, olives)
  • Milk and milk products, low fat
  • No servings of fat added as a rule
  • Need to be flexible, i.e. some foods allowed, but limited frequency (e.g. regular cheese on one day, nothing else high in fat that day)
  • Low fat diet may be temporary
  • Ensure adequate fluid intake
  • Moderate alcohol intake
81
Q

Explain the nutritional prescription pre gallbladder surgery

A 
Eat and drink normally to midnight
Drink 1 CHO drink in 10 minutes
	Apple juice 850 mL
	Commercial iced tea 1100 mL
	Cranberry cocktail 650 mL
	Lemonade no pulp 1000 mL
	Orange juice no pulp 1000mL
No pulp --> we do not want fiber residues to be stuck in the GI later.

Morning of surgery:
Do not eat any food
Drink 1 CHO drink (10 minutes) as above but ½ the amount 2h before surgery

82
Q

Explain the nutritional prescription post- gallbladder surgery

A 
Post-op nutrition (moving to ERAS more and more)
Day 1-3: 
- Clear fluids first, sipped
- Full fluids, but avoiding high-fat
- Can use EN products, low in fat

Day 3:

  • If tolerating fluids, low fat diet
  • Small meals depending on tolerance

Nutrition support is reserved for:

  • Severe cases such as pancreatitis, sepsis, shock… or
  • Extended postoperative period and bowel rest are indicated
83
Q

Name possible causes of acute pancreatitis

A

Common causes (90%)
o Biliary tract disease/cholelithiasis (more common in women)
o Alcoholism (more common in men)
o Idiopathic

Other causes
o	Infection, drugs, surgery, cancer
o	Obesity, hyperlipidemia
o	Hyperparathyroidism, hypercalcemia
o	Exposure to toxins
o	Trauma
o	ERCP (to fix gallbladder = affect something else)
84
Q

What is the nutritional management of acute pancreatitis?

A

NPO vs TPN vs EN depends on severity
• NPO for milder conditions
• NS for more severe; Oral feeds for mild and moderate cases
• Standard nutrition therapy
• Low fat high CHO and protein foods for some, especially biliary issues
• Clear fluids to begin, transition to full fluid diets (consider fat)
• No alcohol
• Frequent small meals

85
Q

What is the nutritional management of chronic pancreatitis?

A

Replacement enzymes with meals
Antacids (to neutralize stomach acid & activates enzymes in duodenum)
Low fat high protein
CHO depends on islet function
MCT oil and EN if fat malabsorption
No alcohol
Vitamin supplements (fat-soluble vits and B12)
Alcohol, coffee, tea, spices, irritant condiments should be avoided. No smoking.
o Why? Irritants affect transit rate – enzymes already work w/o food there

If EN: Choose elemental or semi-elemental (no enzymes in tube feeds)

86
Q

What is the nutrition prescription for acute pancreatitis with Ranson score < 2 and APACHE II score < 9?

A
  • Focus on symptom management = Prevent N/V, Minimize pain, Reduce steatorrhea
  • Maintain or achieve normal nutrition status
  • Avoid alcohol
    ASPEN: no evidence for low-fat foods in mild states (liberal). Self-selection is suitable in context of standard nutrition therapy.
    If oral intake fails, initiate EN after 4 days
87
Q

What is the nutrition prescription for acute pancreatitis with Ranson score > 3 and APACHE II score > 10?

A

E: 25 kcal/kg/d or MSJ x 1.39
 Initiate within 48-72 hours of admission
 Continuous infusion over 24h
 Initiate feeding 25 mL/hr, advance to reach 25 kcal/kg over 24-48h
 EER: 25 kcal/kg/d (or IC)
 Protein: 1.5 g/kg/d (2.0 g/kg/d MUHC)
 Standard polymeric formulas, mixed protein, fat, CHO
 Advance to oral diet when no pain for 24 h (ASPEN). Nelms also suggests when amylase (declines first) and lipase decrease towards normal. Evidence is not strong according to ASPEN.

Start PN if intolerant to EN > 5 d

88
Q

What are the replacement doses for pancreatic enzymes per meal? Per day? Per g fat?

A
  • 500-2500 U lipase/kg/meal
  • < 10,000 U lipase/kg/day
  • 1000-4000 U lipase/1g dietary fat at meals and snacks

≈ 30,000 units lipase with each meal
