Elliot Problem List

1. Chylothorax/Chylous Ascites• d/t Noonan’s Syndrome?

2. Hypogammaglobulinemia

3. Hypercoagulability

4. Chronic Lung Disease (CLD)

5. Iatrogenic Drug Withdrawl

Page 10: Pediatric Case Study By: Sarah Iske. Elliot Hospital Elliot Health System (EHS) is the largest provider of comprehensive healthcare services in Southern.

What is Chyle?

• Chyle: alkaline solution produced during digestion of food. Contains chylomicrons, triglycerides, and fat soluble vitamins.

• 70% of ingested long-chain triglycerides are absorbed via the lymphatic system and the lymph flow increases after each meal.

Page 11: Pediatric Case Study By: Sarah Iske. Elliot Hospital Elliot Health System (EHS) is the largest provider of comprehensive healthcare services in Southern.

Chyle Leak

• Rare condition

• Abnormally high amount of drainage from the lymphatic system into a body cavity or externally through a chest tube.

• Three types:1. Chylous Ascities (abdominal

cavity)

2. Chylothorax (pleural cavity)

3. Chylopericardium (cardiac cavity)

Page 12: Pediatric Case Study By: Sarah Iske. Elliot Hospital Elliot Health System (EHS) is the largest provider of comprehensive healthcare services in Southern.

Causes of Chyle Leaks

• Select malignancies (60%)• Lymphoma• Mediastinal lymph node

metastasis • Carcinomas (gastric,

ovarian, colon)

• Trauma (25%)

• Congenital abnormalities

• Cirrhosis

• Diagnosis confirmed by lab assessment:

• Lipid content of the leak is greater than the lipid content of plasma.

• Protein content of the leak is 50%+ greater than the protein content of plasma.

Page 13: Pediatric Case Study By: Sarah Iske. Elliot Hospital Elliot Health System (EHS) is the largest provider of comprehensive healthcare services in Southern.

Complications of Chyle Leaks

• Symptoms: dyspnea, tachypnea, cough, chest pain, abdominal distention.

• Malnutrition • Depletion of nutrients (fat, protein, fat soluble

vitamins, albumin, lymphocytes)• Increased risk for immunosuppression with potential

risk for pneumonia and sepsis.• Hypovolemia (2.5 L losses/day)• Metabolic acidosis• Electrolyte imbalance (hypernatremia, hypocalcemia)• Hemodynamic instability

Page 14: Pediatric Case Study By: Sarah Iske. Elliot Hospital Elliot Health System (EHS) is the largest provider of comprehensive healthcare services in Southern.

Treatment of Chyle Leaks

• Surgical Treatment• Swift closure

• Medical Treatment:• Goal = spontaneous closure• Paracentesis• Reducing the amount of chyle (diuresis with a fat-

modified enteral diet)• Treating the underlying cause• Nutrition support• Goal: decrease production of chyle, replace fluid and

electrolytes, and maintain or replete nutrition status

Page 15: Pediatric Case Study By: Sarah Iske. Elliot Hospital Elliot Health System (EHS) is the largest provider of comprehensive healthcare services in Southern.

Nutritional Management

Two Options:

1. Enteral Nutrition/Oral Nutrition• Very low fat or fat free elemental formula/diet• 2-5% of energy from essential fatty acids to prevent deficiency

• <10g of LCT a day

• Multivitamin/Mineral supplement• High Protein (fat free protein supplement)• MCT oil supplementation

2. NPO with Parenteral Nutrition• Attempt EN or Oral feedings first• Only if unable to use gut, intolerance to oral or EN feeds, or

failure of EN or oral diet to close chyle leak.

Page 18: Pediatric Case Study By: Sarah Iske. Elliot Hospital Elliot Health System (EHS) is the largest provider of comprehensive healthcare services in Southern.

Noonan’s Syndrome(Also called Turner Syndrome)

• An autosomal dominant congenital disorder that affects both males and females

• Mutations in the PTPN11, SOS1, RAF1, KRAS, NRAS and BRAF genes that provide instructions for making proteins.

• Characterized by: mildly unusual facial characteristics, short stature, heart defects, blood clotting problems, skeletal malformations.

• Affects 1 in 1,000 to 2,500 people

• Testing: Molecular genetic tests (or gene tests) that study single genes or short lengths of DNA to identify variations or mutations that lead to a genetic disorder.

• Patients results were inconclusive.

• Nutrition Management: No specific nutrition management.

• Treatment: Based on individual signs and symptoms. Any cardiac or respiratory treatment is similar to treatment in general population.

Page 19: Pediatric Case Study By: Sarah Iske. Elliot Hospital Elliot Health System (EHS) is the largest provider of comprehensive healthcare services in Southern.

Hypercoagulability

• Increased risk for blood clots developing in the arteries and veins.

• In most cases, treatment is only needed when a blood clot develops in a vein or artery.

• Anticoagulants decrease the blood’s ability to clot and prevent the formation of additional clots.• Warfarin (Coumadin)• Heparin (IV or subcutaneous)• Fondaparinux (Arixtra)

Page 20: Pediatric Case Study By: Sarah Iske. Elliot Hospital Elliot Health System (EHS) is the largest provider of comprehensive healthcare services in Southern.

Secondary to Chylothorax/Fetal Hydrops: Hypogammaglobulinemia

• A deficiency of gamma globulins and especially antibodies in the blood causing immunosuppression.• Other causes: medications, nephrotic

syndrome, intestinal lymphangiectasia, B-cell lineage malignancies, severe burns, and dystrophic myotonia.

• Normal ranges for IgG are 176 - 601 mg/dL for 2-3 month old baby

• Treated with replacement therapy of immunoglobulin G (IgG) through IVIG or SCIG

Page 21: Pediatric Case Study By: Sarah Iske. Elliot Hospital Elliot Health System (EHS) is the largest provider of comprehensive healthcare services in Southern.

Chronic Lung Disease (CLD)

• A general term for long-term respiratory problems in premature babies. The lungs of newborn babies are fragile and are easily damaged. Injury causes inflammation and scarring leading to breathing difficulties.

• Causes:1. Prematurity2. Low amounts of surfactant3. Oxygen use4. Mechanical ventilation5. Maternal womb infection6. A family history of asthma7. Development of an infection during or shortly after birth

• Symptoms:• Respiratory distress (rapid breathing, flaring of the nostrils, grunting, chest retractions)• Continued need for mechanical ventilation or oxygen after a premature baby reaches 36

weeks gestation

• Treatment: • Oxygen • Mechanical ventilation• Surfactant replacement• Medications: Bronchodilators, Steroids, Diuretics, Antibiotics• Nutrition for proper growth

Initial NICU Nutrition Assessment 6/9

• Weight: 5.225 kgs

• Diet: NPO• Nutrition Support: NG tube of Enfaport 24 cal/oz @ 135 ml/kg over 1 hr via pump.

Decreased from 26 cals/oz d/t large weight gain. • Vit D labs requested. Abnormal at 18 ng/ml – added 400 IU Vit D

• Estimated Nutrition Needs:• Energy: 110 – 120 kcal/kg for corrected to term/post term based on estimated enteral needs.• Protein: 3-4 gm for corrected to term/recovery needs based on estimated enteral needs. • Yield of current TF: 135 mls/kg provides 564 kcals/day, 108 kcals/kg and 3.5 gm

protein/kg/day.

• Nutrition Diagnosis:• Altered GI function related to chylothorax evidenced by need for specialized low chain fatty

acid formula (Enfaport)• Delayed/impaired oral feeding related to hx of prematurity and extensive

medical/respiratory support as evidenced by NPO status/full TF dependence at this time.

• No Malnutrition Identified

• Goal of Therapy:• Promote ~0.025-0.035 kgs/day weight gain• Promote proportionate growth velocity

• Check TF daily and Reassess in 7 days

Page 26: Pediatric Case Study By: Sarah Iske. Elliot Hospital Elliot Health System (EHS) is the largest provider of comprehensive healthcare services in Southern.

Enfaport Formula Calculation

Nutrition Support: NG tube of Enfaport 24 cal/oz @ 135 ml/kg over 1 hr via pump. • Energy Requirements: 110 – 120 kcal/kg and 3-4 gm protein• Weight: 5.225 kg

• 24 cals/oz x 30 ml/oz = 720 mls/ 5.225 kg = 137.7 ml/kg• 135 ml/kg x 5.225 kg = ~705 ml• 705 ml/ 30 ml/oz = 23.5 ounces x 24 cals/oz = 564 kcals• 564 kcals / 5.2 kg = 108 kcals/kg

• 705 mls x 0.026 gm protein/ml = 18.33 gms protein• 18.33 grams protein/ 5.2 kg = 3.5 gm protein/kg

• Yield of current TF: 135 mls/kg provides 564 kcals/day, 108 kcals/kg and 3.5 gm protein/kg/day.
