Energy Requirements:
American Chest Physicians
30-35 kcal/kg of current body weight: 2346-2737 kcal
Protein Requirements:
1.5-2.0 g/kg (per extreme protein wasting/hypermetabolism) x 78.2 kg = 117-156 g/day
Fluid Requirements:
35 mL/kg x 78.2 kg = 2737 mL/day ? 2700 mL/day
Or
1 mL/kcal x 2747 kcal = 2737 mL/day? 2700 mL/day
Fluid needs may need to be altered per I/O records and vital signs (e.g. blood pressure)
