9/3/24 Nutrition Care Process Documentation Estimating Nutrient Needs LECTURE 1 – FALL 2024 1 1 Nutritional Status v Assessment of nutritional status: reflection of how well a person’s physiologic nutritional needs are being met v Adequate nutritional status is a result of a balance between nutrient intake and nutrient requirements v The basis of nutrition assessment: o what is the current nutritional status? o what is the nutritional risk? 2 2 1 9/3/24 Nutritional Status v Nutrition Imbalance: deficiency or excess v Nutrient deficiency can result from any of the following (or a combination of any of the following): o Inadequate nutrient intake o Inadequate absorption o Inadequate utilization o Increased nutrient requirement o Increased excretion 3 3 Nutritional Status v Nutrient Intake o Includes all intake: diet, supplements, formula o Many influential factors, such as: § appetite § ability to chew and swallow § purchasing power § culture § eating behaviors § emotional climate § social support § others… 4 4 2 9/3/24 Nutritional Status v Nutrient Requirements o Maintenance o Physiologic stressors § acute or chronic diseases, disorders or syndromes § fever § trauma o Normal anabolic states § pregnancy § childhood growth § rehabilitation 5 5 Estimating Nutrient Needs 6 6 3 9/3/24 Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) v Minimum amount of energy expended that is compatible with life v Synonymous with Basal Energy Expenditure (BEE) v Measured in morning, in fasting state (no food or drink 12-14 hours prior), resting (physically/mentally), before person engages in any physical activity, lying in supine position, in thermally neutral environment (not hot, not cold, room temperature; prevents activation of heat generating processes, such as shivering) o these strict conditions make obtaining BEE impractical in clinical setting o usually the goal measurement in research setting 7 Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) v Energy expended in activities necessary to sustain normal body functions and homeostasis; to sustain life and keep vital organs functioning (heart, lungs, brain, liver kidney) o includes energy required for maintenance of body temperature o higher than BEE by 10-20% v Synonymous with Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) v Resting Energy Expenditure can be obtained any time of day, after resting for 30 minutes, fasted for at least 5 hours o more frequently measured, though rarely fasted in clinical setting 8 4 9/3/24 Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) v Factors affecting Resting Energy Expenditure o Body Composition / Size § Lean Body Mass: LBM (also known as fat free mass) more metabolically active than adipose tissue § Athletes have higher REE than non-athletes § Taller = large body surface area and higher metabolic rate o Gender § Males tend to have greater REE; attributed to body composition/size § Males: more muscle mass Females: more fat mass o Age § REE decreases ~2% for every decade after 30 years § In large part affected by proportion of LBM: decreases with increasing age, highest during periods of growth 9 Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) v Factors affecting Resting Energy Expenditure o Climate § People living in tropical climates have higher REE o Body Temperature § Fever → ↑ REE § 7% for each degree above 98°F; 13% for each degree above 37°C o Energy Restriction § After several weeks of energy restriction, REE declines o Hormone Status § Genetic influence, predisposition to higher/lower REE § Hypothyroidism (decrease) and hyperthyroidism (increase) o Other Factors § Caffeine, nicotine; metabolic stress, disease 10 5 9/3/24 Additional Energy Components v Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) o Energy required to digest, absorb, metabolize, store nutrients contained in foods consumed and to eliminate byproducts and waste o Measurable increase in EE from REE o Accounts for 10% of Energy Expenditure for typical mixed meal o Influenced by amount and macronutrient composition of food consumed § fat lowest TEF, protein highest o Can be measured x several hours after meal; peaks ~60-120 mins after meal, can last 4-6 hours depending on size and composition of meal o Typically not calculated into BEE due to high variability 11 Additional Energy Components v Physical Activity (Activity Thermogenesis) o energy expended in physical activity o includes exercise-related and/or non-exercise activity (part of daily work and movement, includes shopping, fidgeting, even chewing gum) o in very active individuals can exceed REE by twofold or more o could be as low as 100kcals/d (sedentary) or as high as 3000kcals/d (athletes) v Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) o TEE = BMR + TEF + Activity Factor o Activity factors vary depending on activity level (textbook chapter 2) o Sedentary; Light Active; Active; Very Active 12 6 9/3/24 Additional Energy Components v Illness/Trauma o trauma, surgery (elective trauma), and illness increase metabolic rate o highly variable depending on disease or condition o injury or illness factor is really part of BMR although in older texts it is often accounted for when prediction equations are used because many of the equations do not account for the incremental increase in metabolic rate o in practice, injury factors are rarely used (they were used in the past) and they are not part of current research on energy expenditure o incorporated into measured Energy Expenditure (EE) in clinical setting 13 Methods for Predicting or Measuring EE o Direct calorimetry o Indirect calorimetry o Predictive equations o Rule of thumb 14 7 9/3/24 Direct Calorimetry Individual is placed in room/chamber that permits moderate activity Provides measure of energy expended in the form of heat Limited by confined testing conditions; not representative of normal daily activities Used in research settings only; too expensive, complex engineering, time consuming, impractical for use in clinical setting 15 Indirect Calorimetry v Estimates EE (energy expenditure) by determining oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production over period of time v Gold Standard in acute care settings o Metabolic Carts used bedside in hospitals o Mainly used in ICU setting o Expensive; not every facility has a metabolic cart v Handheld indirect calorimeter o Designed to measure oxygen consumption, uses static value for carbon dioxide production o MedGem (handheld device) o Benefit: easy mobility and relatively low cost o These devices are often used in gyms 16 8 9/3/24 Indirect Calorimetry v Requirements for Indirect Calorimetry ◦ Hemodynamically stable patient ◦ Cooperative patient ◦ Rest period before measurement ◦ Fi02 < 60% (fractional inspired oxygen concentration; percent of oxygen you are breathing; normal=21%) ◦ Absence of chest tubes or other sources of air leak ◦ Absence of hyperventialtion v Using the results, Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) can be calculated o To calculate the 24-hour energy expenditure: REE = [3.9 (VO2) + 1.1 (VCO2)] 1.44 VO2 = O2 consumption (mL/min) VCO2 = CO2 production (mL/min) 17 17 Predictive Equations v Over the years several equations have been developed to estimate REE o Examples § Mifflin-St Jeor § Harris Benedict § Penn State v Many were developed for use with healthy individuals (i.e Harris Benedict); application to other populations is questionable 18 9 9/3/24 Mifflin-St Jeor v Men: o RMR = 5 + 10(wt in kg) + 6.25(ht in cm) – 5(age in yrs) v Women: o RMR = -161 + 10(wt in kg) + 6.25(ht in cm) – 5(age in yrs) v Most valid of the equations in healthy adults; less so for obese v Used to estimate energy expenditure of healthy individuals 19 Harris Benedict v Men: o BMR = 66.5 + (13.75 x wt(kg)) + (5.003 x ht(cm) – (6.755 age(yrs)) v Women: o BMR = 655.1 + ( 9.563 x wt(kg)) + (1.850 x ht(cm)) – (4.676 x age(yrs)) v Until recently was most widely used equation v Found to overestimate REE in both normal & obese individuals by 7-27% v Databases that were used to develop Harris Benedict no longer reflect the population; use of this equation is not recommended 20 10 9/3/24 Penn State University Equation v PSU (2003b): RMR = Mifflin (0.096) + VE(31) + Tmax (167) – 6212 ◦ Use in non obese critically ill ventilated ◦ Use in the obese critically ill ventilated less that 60 years old v PSU (2010): RMR = Mifflin (0.71) + VE(64) + Tmax (85) – 3085 ◦ Use in obese critically ill ventilated 60 years or older v Equation used for critically ill patients v Can be used when indirect calorimetry is not available or feasible 21 Special Considerations: Obesity v ASPEN Guidelines o 2a. In the critically ill obese patient, if indirect calorimetry is unavailable, energy requirements should be based on the Penn State University 2010 predictive equation or the modified Penn State University equation if the patient is over age of 60 years (strong) o 2b. In the hospitalized obese patient, if indirect calorimetry is unavailable and the Penn State University equations cannot be used (VE and Tmax unavailable), energy requirements may be based on the Mifflin-St Jeor equation using actual body weight (weak) 22 11 9/3/24 Weight Based Calculations Patient Type Estimated Energy Needs Healthy Adult, Ambulatory 25-30kcal/kg Healthy Adult, Active 30-35kcal/kg Overweight 21-25kcal/kg Obese 18-21kcal/kg Critically Ill, intubated 25-30kcal/kg Critically ill (BMI >30) 11-14kcal/kg actual body weight Pressure Injury 30-35kcal/kg 23 23 Weight Based Calculations Patient Type Estimated Energy Needs Cancer 25-35kcal/kg Cancer, head & neck 28-32kcal/kg, 30-40kcal/kg if wt loss CKD Stages 1-4 25-30kcal/kg CKD Stage 5 on dialysis 30-35kcal/kg Cirrhosis 25-35kcal/kg Transplant, 6 months post-op 25-30kcal/kg 24 24 12 9/3/24 Estimated Protein Requirements v Based on o Nutritional status; degree of malnutrition o Degree of stress of disease or injury o Physiologic ability to metabolize protein o Physiologic ability to utilize protein o Nitrogen balance (less valid) input vs output v Metabolically Stressed o Provide enough to meet metabolic demand o Allow approximately 1.5 g protein/kg/day § Assuming adequate organ function § < 1.5 grams may be necessary, depending on liver/renal function 25 25 Estimated Protein Requirements Condition Protein Requirement DRI Reference 0.8g/kg body weight Adult maintenance 0.8-1 g/kg Older Adults >1 g/kg Renal disease: pre-dialysis (stage IV) 0.6-0.8 g/kg Renal disease: hemodialysis >1.2-1.3 g/kg up to 1.5-1.8 g/kg Hepatitis (acute or chronic) 1-1.5 g/kg Hepatic encephalopathy 0.6-0.8 g/kg (BCAA) *if refractory 26 26 13 9/3/24 Estimated Protein Requirements Condition Protein Requirement Cancer 1-1.5g/kg, 1.5-2.5 if cachectic Bone Marrow Transplant 1.5 g/kg Inflammatory bowel disease 1-1.5 g/kg Short bowel syndrome 1.5-2 g/kg BMI >27, normal renal/liver 1.5-2 g/kg IBW Obesity Class I or II, trauma (ICU) 1.9 g/kg IBW Obesity Class III, trauma (ICU) 2.5 g/kg/IBW 27 27 Estimated Protein Requirements Condition Protein Requirement Organ transplant: short term 1.5-2 g/kg Organ transplant: long term 1 g/kg Pregnancy +25 g/d in 2nd & 3rd trimester Pulmonary disease 1.2-1.5 g/kg Critical illness 1.5-2 g/kg *burns, sepsis, traumatic brain injury Stroke 1-1.2 g/kg Pressure Injury 1.25-1.5 g/kg 28 28 14 9/3/24 Estimated Fluid Requirements v Goals o Maintenance of adequate hydration o Tissue perfusion o Electrolyte balance v Needs based on o Body weight o Body surface o RDA v Consider o Insensible losses: 75% skin, 25% lung (500-900 ml) o Measured losses: stool (250 ml), urine (800-1500ml), other drainage o Fluid balance alterations due to: § Metabolic changes (fever) § Medical therapy (diuretic treatment) 29 29 Estimated Fluid Requirements v Factors affecting fluid requirements Factor Increase in Fluid Needs Fever 13% for each 1 degree Co above normal (37oC is normal); 7% for each degree Fo Sweating 10-25% Hyperventilation 10-60% Extraordinary wound/fistula, gastric Varies (based on average 24 hour output) and/or renal fluid losses v Fluid requirements may increase or decrease for certain disease states o i.e. may decrease with CHF, CKD/dialysis, cirrhosis, … 30 30 15 9/3/24 Estimated Fluid Requirements v Based on Age o Young Adult: 35-40ml per kg (actual body weight) o 20-55 years old: 30-35ml per kg (actual body weight) –may be higher if active o 55-75 years old: 25-30ml per kg (actual body weight) o >75 years old: 25ml per kg (actual body weight); >100 years old: 20ml per kg v RDA Method o 1 ml fluid per 1 kcal of estimated needs v Fluid Balance Method o Daily urine output +500ml per day v Holliday Segar Method o 10kg o >20 kg : 1500ml +20ml/kg for each kg >20 kg o pediatrics 31 31 Nutrition Care Process 32 32 16 9/3/24 Nutrition Care Process o A systematic approach to providing high quality nutrition care.
