Why was TPN discontinued and D10W hung in its place during surgery?

Question 2

CJ's weight is now down to 168 . Calculate his total caloric needs by calculating his BEE and an appropriate energy expenditure factor. Use the Harris-Benedict equation and appropriate factor found in Appendix A or use a formula of your own choosing.

Answer to Question 1

The stress of surgery will cause a change in BEE, insulin utilization, lipid utilization, and possible fluid shifts. This would make it impractical, if not impossible, to monitor and control TPN during surgery. However, if TPN were stopped completely without providing a source of glucose, the blood glucose level could drop very low; therefore, D10W was hung.

Answer to Question 2

BEE = 66 + 13.7  wt + 5  ht - 6.8  age
= 66 + 13.7  76.4 + 5  177.8  6.8  58
= 66 + 1047 + 889  394
= 2029  394
= 1635

Using a stress factor of 1.4: 1635  1.4 = 2289

All adverse reactions are commonly charted in red ink in the patient's record and usually are noted on the front of the chart. Failure to follow correct documentation procedures may result in malpractice lawsuits.

To maintain good kidney function, you should drink at least 3 quarts of water daily. Water dilutes urine and helps prevent concentrations of salts and minerals that can lead to kidney stone formation. Chronic dehydration is a major contributor to the development of kidney stones.

Did you know?

The human body's pharmacokinetics are quite varied. Our hair holds onto drugs longer than our urine, blood, or saliva. For example, alcohol can be detected in the hair for up to 90 days after it was consumed. The same is true for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, and nicotine.

Did you know?

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.

Did you know?

The first monoclonal antibodies were made exclusively from mouse cells. Some are now fully human, which means they are likely to be safer and may be more effective than older monoclonal antibodies.
