NEONATAL UNIT

Total body water (TBW): the total intracellular andextracellular fluids

Extracellular fluids (ECF): the total Intravascular andInterstitial fluids

Insensible water loss (IWL): the evaporation of waterthrough the skin, respiratory tract and mucousmembranes

Definitions

R. Bissinger. D. Annibale, GOLDEN HOURS, Care of the VLBWI , Chicago Ill, 2014

General Principles

Water accounts for 75%-95% of an infant’s body weight

TBW is inversely proportional to GE.

First week of life: physiologic weight loss due to contraction of ECF.

VLBW infants – 10%-15%Term infants – 10%


ELBW infants at lower GE have the highest Trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL)

*Humidified incubator with Porthole sleeves ready on admission for infants < 32weeks and/or <1,200

grams to decrease TEWL


FACTORS AFFECTING IWL

INCREASE DECREASE

Low maturity High maturity

Low relative humidity Increasing postnatal age

Ambient temperature exceeding neutral thermal environment

High environmental relative humidity

Skin defects (omphalocele, gastroschisis)

High ventilator relative humidity

Phototherapy and use of radientwarmer

Oh W, Fluid and Electrolyte Management of VLBW Infants, Pediatrics and Neonatology 2012

IWL:

Intake – Output (mainly urine) - ∆ in weight

Oh W, Fluid and Electrolyte Management of VLBW Infants, Pediatrics and Neonatology 2012

Urine output: 1-3ml/kg/hr

Urine specific gravity: 1005-1012 is consistent with a balancein TBW

Urine Osmolarity : (specific gravity – 1000) x 30•Premature: 500mosm/l (spec. gravity 1020-1025)•AT: 800 mosm/l (specific gravity 1030)

Serum electrolytes and Cr should be routinely monitored toevaluate Renal Function and Fluid balance.

ESTIMATED ENERGY REQUIRMENTS FOR GROWING PREMATURE INFANTS

Energy Expenditure Kcal/kg/d

RECOMMENDED ENERGY INTAKE

American Academy of Pediatrics:

105-130 kcal/kg/day for preterm infants

ESPGHAN (Committee on Nutrition):

FORMS OF ADMINISTRATION

PERIPHERAL: max osmolarity 900 mOsm/l Limits increase of energy , Dext 12.5%. Short term nutrition Risk of infiltration, phlebitis, thrombosis

PREPARATION

Laminar flow hood

OSMOLARITY DEPENDS MOSTLY ON:

• DEXTROSE 5mOsml/gr• AMINO ACIDS 10mOsml/gr• ELECTROLYTES 1mOsml/mEq

mOsm/L:Total of Osmol x 1000total volume in TPN

PLASMA OSMOLARITY: 280 -290 mosm/L

2x Na + Glucose mg/dl + BUN mg/dl18 2,8


DEXTROSE

Normal Glucose Requirements

Glucose Infusion Rate (GIR):

• Preterm: 6-8mg/kg/min• Term: 3-5mg/kg/min

Normal glucose level: 50-120 mg/dl

1 gram of glucose = 3,4 kcal


Infants who require high infusion ratesor a dextrose concentration (Tenor)

> 12.5% require placement of central venous catheter (UVC, PICC)

Tenor: Total Glucose (g) x100Total fluids in IV

Total grams of glucose= GIR (mg) x Weight (kg) x 1.44


Dextrose solutions and formulas:

D5W D30WD10W D50W

D10W: Glucose (g) - RV0,05

D5W: Remaining volume (RV) – D10W

D30W: Glucose (g) – RV0,2 2

D50W: Glucose (g) x 10 – RV4

AMINO ACIDS

Recommended Protein intake:

3 – 4 g/kg/day in VLBW infants

1g of aa = 4 kcal

This account for obligate protein loss of(1.5 – 2.0 g/kg/day)

This will: limits catabolism improve protein balance preserve endogenous protein stores


Parenteral Amino Acid Solutions

Aminosyn 10%

TrophAmine 10%

Primene 10%

* Presentation also available as 8,5%


LIPIDS

Intravenous lipids: Prevents essential fatty acids deficiency (EFAD)

(linoleic/linolenic acids) Provides a significant source of non-protein energy. Requirments 1-4 g/kg/day

1g of lipid = 9 kcal

EFAD can be avoided with 0.5 – 1.0 g/kg/dayof IV lipids in the first 24 hrs of life.


Intralipids are available as 10% and 20%

20% solutions are preferred due to lower cholesterol and plasma triglyceride levels.

IV lipid solutions have LCT (>12C)

Maintain serum glucose levels

Monitor Triglycerides: <200 mg/dl and < 140mg/dl with hyperbilirubinemia


Care should be taken in:

Infants with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia to avoid bilirubin toxicity as a result of free fatty acids displacing bilirubin from albumin binding sites.

Infants with BPD due to release of thromboxanesand prostaglandins, and increased pulmonary vascular resistance

Infants with increased sepsis risk

Lipid intake should be limited to 40% - 50% of total calories

WHEN TO DISCONTINUE PN?

Discontinue Parenteral Nutrition when patient has aEnteral Nutrition of 100cc/kg/d

Gradual omission if patient has 75% of total fluids asEnteral Nutrition and compliment with glucose at anadequate GIR.
