Principles of Nutrition
•Caloric requirement:
Neonatal 100 kcal/kg/day.
Adult 40 kcal/kg/day.
Adult with catabolism 60 kcal/kg/day.
•It is given as:
Carbohydrates 50%.
Fat 30-40%.
Protein 10-15%.
• Caloric values:
Carbohydrate 4 kcal/g.
Protein 4 kcal/g.
Fat 9 kcal/g
Assessment

Methods of Feeding
1) Enteral
2) Parenteral
1) Enteral
Gastrointestinal tract is the best route to provide nutrition. Enteral feeding can be
delivered by bolus, by gravity or using mechanical pump.
1. By mouth
2. By nasogastric tube
3. By enterostomy
4.Gastrostomy
5.Jejunostomy.
Nasogastric
Suitability
Short term-functional Gl tract
Insertion method and confirmation
Blind at bedside; fluoroscopy guided
Advantages
Easy to insert, replace; can monitor gastric pH and residual volume, capable of bolus feeding
Complications
Misplacement complications, sinusitis, epistaxis, nasal necrosis, esophageal strictures, erosive esophagitis
Nasoduodenal, nasojejunal
Suitability
Short term-functional Gl tract but poor gastnc emptying. reflux, aspiration risk; begin feed only when volume resuscitated
and hemodynamically stable
Information and confirmation
Blind at bedside; fluoroscopy guided, endoscopy guided
Advantages
Reduced aspiration risk.
some tubes enable decompression of
stomach while feeding into jejunum
Disadvantages
Easily clogged or displaced, aspiration risk, misplacement complications, displacement and reflux into stomach, sinusitis,
epistaxis, nasal necrosis; requires continuous infusion; cannot check gastric residuals except with specialized gastric port
Gastrostomy
Suitability
Long term- good gastric emptying; avoid if significant reflux or aspiration problem
Insertion method and confirmation
Surgical, percutaneous, endoscopic, radiologic
Advantages
Bolus feeding: large-bore
tube less likely to block
Disadvantages
Procedure risks include bleeding, perforation, aspiration risk, dislodgment with peritoneal contamination, wound site
infection, granulation
Jejunostomy
Suitability
Long term-functional Gl tract but poor gastric emptying. reflux, aspiration risk, gastroparesis or gastric dysfunction
Information and confirmation
Surgical, percutaneous, endoscopic, radiologic
Advantages
Theoretical reduced aspiration risk
Disadvantages
Bleeding, infection, perforation, migration, aspiration, dislodgment and leakage into peritoneal cavity, occlusion,
pneumatosis, intestinal ischemia or infarction, bowel obstruction; difficult to replace, cannot check residuals; requires
continuous infusion
Advantages of Enteral Nutrition
• Enteral nutrition preserves mucosal protein, digestive enzymes, IgA secretion;
prevents mucosal atrophy and bacterial translocation. • It is more physiological as
nutrients pass through liver, the first filter to process and store.
• It has got less serious complications. It is cost-effective.
• It supplies glutamine and short chained fatty acids to gut.
2) TOTAL PARENTERAL NUTRITION (TPN)
All nutritional requirements are given only through intravenous route, not through
gastrointestinal tract.
It can also be a peripheral (Peripheral parenteral nutrition/PPN) through a
peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) or through a formal peripheral
venous line.
Indications
•Failure or contraindication for any enteral nutrition for 7-10 days
•High output abdominal fistulas, duodenal, biliary, pancreatic fistulas
•Major abdominal surgeries of liver, pancreas, biliary, colonic
•Septicaemia
•Multiple trauma
•Short bowel syndrome Severe pancreatitis, bowel ischaemia, peritonitis, ileus
•Massive GI bleeding, unstable haemodynamically
•High risk of aspiration
•Hyperemesis gravidarum
•Multiorgan failure, head injury, severe burns
Assessment
Fluid requirement is assessed by—1500 ml for 20 kg weight + 20 ml/kg for
additional weight.
• Energy needed is calculated by calculating resting energy expenditure (REE).
By simple calculation: REE in kcal/day = 25 x weight in kg.
Harris Benedict equation: REE
in men = 66 + (13.7 x weight (in kg) + (5 x ht in cm) - (6.7 x age in years).
In women = 655+ (9.6 x weight) + (1.8 x ht) - (4.7 x age).
Components
1. Carbohydrates:
Dextrose (1 gram dextrose 3.4 kcal)
Rate of administration of dextrose is 5 mg/kg/min.
It supplies calories, stimulates insulin release and glucose oxidation, prevents
muscle protein breakdown, has got nitrogen sparing ability.
Problems of carbohydrate/dextrose are—low calorie value compared to fat,
requires large fluid volume to infuse, hyperglycaemia, causes more COz
production, because of high osmolality it causes thrombophlebitis in 10% or above
concentration.
2. Fat
> Fat gives high calorie (1 gram—9 kcal). > It contains soyabean/sunflower oil with
egg yolk phospholipids (emulsifying factor), glycerin (isotonic).
> It is available as 10%, 20%, 30% emulsions.
> Problems of lipids in PN are-hypertriglyceridaemia, sepsis, fat embolism, fat
overload, hepatic dysfunction, pancreatitis, delayed gastric emptying.
> Lipid emulsion is a good culture media for bacteria and fungi; so care should be
taken to prevent sepsis.
> Triglyceride level should be monitored weekly; if more than 400 mg%, infusion
is discontinued.
3) Protein
> Calorie value of amino acid is 4 kcal/gram.
> Daily protein need is 0.8-1.5 gram/kg.
> Protein supplement should be less in patients with CRF and hepatic
encephalopathy.
> Protein need is more in burns, trauma, enteropathy, sepsis. Protein supplement
should not exceed 1.7 gram/kg/day; if so will cause raised urea production.
> Uses of amino acids in PN-in protein anabolism; prevents scatabolism.
> Proper monitoring by doing BUN or ammonia level is essential during amino
acid therapy.
