Study Notes
Parenteral Nutrition Terminology
- Partial Parenteral Nutrition (PPN): Refers to parenteral nutrition that is supplemented with some enteral (intestinal) feeding.
- Peripheral Parenteral Nutrition: Administered through vein access in a limb rather than through a central vein; suitable for short-term use.
- Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN): Involves providing all nutritional needs intravenously when no significant nutrition can be obtained by other routes.
Indications for Total Parenteral Nutrition
- TPN is primarily provided for patients who cannot meet their nutritional needs through oral or enteral routes due to various medical conditions.
Target Population for Parenteral Nutrition
- Utilized to prevent malnutrition in individuals who are unable to consume food adequately, such as those with gastrointestinal disorders, severe burns, or cancer patients undergoing treatment.
