Mr. Walker was started on Pivot 1.5 @ 50 mL/hr. How much energy and protein will this provide? Does it meet his estimated protein and energy needs that you determined in question #8?
What will be an ideal response?
50 mL/hr x 24 hr = 1200 mL/day
1200 mL/day x 1.5 kcal/mL = 1800 kcal/day
1200 mL/day x 93.8 g pro/1000mL = 169 g protein/day
Propofol (8.2 mL/hr) x 24 hr x 1.1 kcal/mL = 216 kcal
1800 + 216 mL = 2016 kcal
This rate of infusion of Pivot 1.5 for nutrition support only provides74% of his energy needs, but exceeds his protein needs (13 g/day more than upper limit of estimated needs).
