Determine Mr. Maddox's energy and protein requirements. Explain the rationale for the method you used to calculate these requirements
What will be an ideal response?
• Estimated energy needs: 30-35 kcal/kg IBW/day = 2590-3023 kcal/day or 2600-3000 kcal/day
• Estimated protein needs: 1.8-2.0 g protein/kg IBW/day = 155-173 g protein/day
These estimations were based on ideal body weight because of the fluctuation of weight this patient has experienced since admission. Additionally, would want to avoid the risks of overfeeding the patient (hyperglycemia, increased CO2) while he is in critical condition. These ranges were selected based on the previous estimations for a patient with AKI who is going to be on CRRT.
