Restates a parenteral nutrition order per kilogram, with GIR in mg/kg/min and energy by source.

Example
- Patient weight
- 70
- Weight unit
- kg
- Dextrose, hydrous
- 250 g
- Amino acids
- 85 g
- Nitrogen, from the amino acid label
- 13.6 g
- Lipid product
- SMOFlipid
- Lipid
- 50 g
- Infusion hours per day
- 24 hours
- Total volume per day
- 2000 mL
Result: 1,690 kcal (24.14 kcal/kg/day); GIR 2.48 mg/kg/min; dextrose 3.571, amino acids 1.214, lipid 0.7143 g/kg/day.
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

How this is calculated
Citation
FDA labels on DailyMed: Dextrose Injection 50% (3.4 kcal/g of hydrous dextrose; maximum rate without hyperglycemia 0.5 g/kg/hour), Clinimix caloric content table (4 kcal/g of amino acids), and each lipid emulsion's energy per mL. The per-kilogram figures and GIR are arithmetic. Read the sources: Dextrose 50% label ↗, Clinimix label ↗
