b.b. 222:1 1: Determine Non-protein calories:- Dextrose:1 gram dextrose = 3.4 cal0.30 (for 30%) x 500 ml = 150 g dextrose150 g x 3.4 calories/gram of dextrose = 510 cal from dextrose- Lipids:10% fat emulsion has 1.1 Kcal/cc20% fat emulsion has 2.0 Kcal/cc30% fat emulsion has 3.0 Kcal/ccWe have 20% therefore, 2 cal/ml x 500 ml=1000 cal-- Total non-protein calories: Dextrose cals 510 + Lipids cals 1000= 1510 cal total non-protein cals2: Next, determine the amount of Nitrogen:- Nitrogen- 16% of protein is nitrogen. To determine the amount of Nitrogen in an amount of Protein:Either multiply gm pro by 0.16 (for 16%) OR divide grams by 6.25 (b/c 100/16 = 6.25 therefore it is a factor)8.5% of our solution is amino acids-- Therefore:0.085 x 500 ml= 42.5 g protein in our solutionTo determine N:42.5 g protein /6.25 = 6.8 g nitrogen (OR 42.5 * 0.16 = 6.8g)-- Answer: Non-protein calories to nitrogen ratio=1510 cal/6.8 g N= 222:1
