Provide amounts based on Chem-7, calcium, phosphate and magnesium values |
|
Anions and cations must balance |

| Phosphorus |
1-2 mmol/kg/day |
| Acetate |
(see additives) |
| Sodium |
2-4 mEq/kg/day |
| Potassium |
2-4 mEq/kg/day |
| Magnesium |
0.3-0.5 mEq/kg/day |
| *Calcium |
1-4.5 mEq/kg/day (goal = 3) |
| *Phosphate |
1-2 mmol/kg/day (goal = 1.5) |
| *Calcium and Phosphate should always be given at a ratio of 2 mEq calcium
to 1 mmol Phosphate or 1.6:1 in milligrams of calcium and phosphate.
The amino acid cysteine may be added on a prn basis in the amount of 40
mg/g protein to neutralize the TPN solution in order to meet parenteral
requirements for calcium and phosphorus for bone accretion. |
