Calculate Nutrients for Standard TPN

For adults, standard TPN formulation contains 4.25% AA, 15% Dextrose + 20% Fat Emulsion- plus electrolytes, trace elements, vitamins, and additives. Caloric Distribution is 20% protein, 60% CHO and 20% fat. Concentrations may have to be increased with decreased rate and volume.  See Alternate TPN.
For pediatric patients of age < 10 years, 3% AA and 20% Fat Emulsion are used. Dextrose % is calculated based on patient's weight. If weight is less than 10kg, 7.5% Dextrose is used, otherwise %Dextrose=4.45+0.27 x Weight.
Detroxe is increased from about 6mg/kg/min over 5 days, as tolerated, to about 12mg/kg/min. Fat is started at 0.5g/kg/day and increased over 5 days to a maximum of 4g/kg/day, as tolerated.
