Example Lipid Calculation for
2-in-1
500 ml of 10% lipid
500 ml x 1.1 kcal/ml = 550 kcal
500 ml 20% lipid
500 ml x 2.0 kcal/ml = 1000 kcal

Calculation of Dextrose/AA with
Piggyback Lipids (2-in-1)
Determine patient's kcalorie, protein, and fluid
needs.
Determine lipid volume and rate for "piggy back"
administration.
Determine kcals to be supplied from lipid. (Usually
30% of total kcals).
Divide lipid kcals by 1.1 kcal/cc if you are using 10%
lipids; divide lipid kcals by 2 kcal/cc if you are using
20% lipids. This is the total volume.
Divide total volume of lipid by 24 hr to determine rate
in cc/hr.

Determine protein concentration
Subtract volume of lipid from total fluid
requirement to determine remaining fluid
needs.
Divide protein requirement (in grams) by
remaining fluid requirement and multiply
by 100. This gives you the amino acid
concentration in %.
Multiply protein requirement in grams x 4
to determine calories from protein

Determine dextrose concentration.
Subtract kcals of lipid + calories from protein
from total kcals to determine remaining kcal
needs.
Divide "remaining kcals" by 3.4 kcal/g to
determine grams of dextrose.
Divide dextrose grams by remaining fluid needs
(in protein calculations) and multiply by 100 to
determine dextrose concentration.
Determine rate of AA/dex solution by dividing
"remaining fluid needs by 24 hr.

Example Calculation
Nutrient Needs:
Kcals: 1800. Protein: 88 g. Fluid: 2000 cc
1800 kcal x 30% = 540 kcal from lipid
Lipid (10%):
540 kcal/1.1 (kcal/cc) = 491 cc/24 hr =
20 cc/hr 10% lipid (round to 480 ml)
Remaining fluid needs: 2000cc - 480cc =
1520cc
Protein Calculations
Protein: 88 g / 1520 cc x 100 =
5.8% amino acid solution
88 g. x 4 kcal/gm =352 kcals from
protein
Remaining kcal needs: 1800 (528 + 352)
= 920 kcal
Dextrose Concentration
920 kcal/3.4 kcal/g = 270 g dextrose
270 g / 1520 cc x 100 = 17.7%
dextrose solution
Rate of Amino Acid / Dextrose: 1520
cc / 24hr = 63 cc/hr
TPN recommendation: Suggest two-in-one
PN 17.7% dextrose, 5.8% a.a. @ 63 cc/hr
with 10% lipids piggyback @ 20 cc/hr
Re-check calculations
TPN recommendation: Suggest two-in-one
PN 17.7% dextrose, 5.8% a.a. @ 63 cc/hr
with 10% lipids piggyback @ 20 cc/hr
63 cc/hr x 24 = 1512 ml
1512 * (.177) = 268 g D X 3.4 kcals= 911
kcals
1512 * (.058) = 88 g a.a. x 4 kcals = 352
20 cc/hr lipids*24 = 480*1.1 kcals/cc = 528

Is the solution compoundable?
TPN is compounded using 10% or 15%
amino acids, 70% dextrose, and 20% lipids
The TPN prescription must be
compoundable using standard base
solutions
This becomes an issue if the patient is on a
fluid restriction
Is the Solution Compoundable?
What is the minimum volume to compound the PN
prescription?
Example: 75 g AA
350 g dextrose
50 g lipid
2000 ml fluid restriction
Monitoring
Monitoring for Complications
Malnourished patients at risk for refeeding
syndrome should have serum phosphorus,
magnesium, potassium, and glucose levels
monitored closely at initiation of SNS. (B)
In patients with diabetes or risk factors for glucose
intolerance, SNS should be initiated with a low
dextrose infusion rate and blood and urine glucose
monitored closely. (C)
Blood glucose should be monitored frequently
upon initiation of SNS, upon any change in insulin
dose, and until measurements are stable. (B)

patients. JPEN 26;41SA, 2002
Monitoring for Complications
Serum electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride,
and bicarbonate) should be monitored frequently
upon initiation of SNS until measurements are
stable. (B)
Patients receiving intravenous fat emulsions
should have serum triglyceride levels monitored
until stable and when changes are made in the
amount of fat administered. (C)
Liver function tests should be monitored
periodically in patients receiving PN. (A)
