955 kcals/day **the key is per liter. So per liter this provides 180 grams of dextrose: 300 ml x .60 dextrose = 180 g dextrose the total volume is 1560 ml: 65 ml/hr x 24 hours = 1560 ml therefore, 1000/1560 = 180/x; cross multiply 1560 ml x 180 g dextrose = 1000x x = 280 g dextrose This provides 280 grams dextrose for 1560 ml: 280 g dextrose x 3.4 kcal/g dextrose = 955 kcal.

Dumping may occur in patients following gastric bypass surgery when simple sugars are consumed. Early dumping is a result of a rapid emptying of food into the jejunum. The patient may experience vasomotor symptoms, such as flushing and tachycardia, as well as abdominal pain and diarrhea.

This is the result of a brisk spike of insulin in response to hyperglycemia due to the rapid absorption of simple sugars from the proximal small intestine. Patients may also experience dizziness, fatigue, weakness and sweating.

the immobolized state can lead to low levels of:
albumin and calcium When someone is immobile, the cells that make bone (osteoblasts) are not able to work as well. In addition, there is more activity of the cells that breakdown bone (osteoclasts).
