Hello Alyson A pediatric Nutritionist from Kenya, Africa here. Thankyou for such a wonderful presentation. My questions are as follows; 1. Do you mind sharing the source for the NFPE for pediatric? 2.Which lipid range formulae do you use? 3.I get alot of questions on oral water intake amounts for pediatrics, can we still use the Holliday Segar equation? Looking forward to more on this series
Hi! Thank you for your questions, here are responses from Alyson: 1. There are many great resources for pediatric NFPEs. A couple of resources I recommend are: -The Practitioner's guide to NFPE for Infants, Children and Adolescents from ASPEN: www.nutritioncare.org/NFPEPediatrics/ -Abbott Nutrition Health Institute has a web based course on peds NFPE: anhi.org/education/course-catalog/AF6018F18CB94708979C46753C2742FF -Review published by Kelly Corkins: Green Corkins K. Nutrition-focused physical examination in pediatric patients. Nutr Clin Pract. 2015 Apr;30(2):203-9. doi: 10.1177/0884533615572654. Epub 2015 Mar 4. PMID: 25739708. 2. For lipid ranges, I follow the recommendations from ASPEN. This reference sheet is very helpful: www.nutritioncare.org/uploadedFiles/Documents/Guidelines_and_Clinical_Resources/PN%20Dosing%201-Sheet-Nov%202020-FINAL.pdf 3. Yes! You can absolutely use Holliday Segar for oral water intake. I usually will then convert to ounces and reference cups or bottles of water the kiddo would need to drink as this visual can be more helpful for parents.
