Description
Summary:Parenteral nutrition (PN) is provided through intravenous administration to patients who are unable to meet their nutritional needs either through oral intake or enteral nutrition (EN) due to pathological or surgical conditions. Decades of research have resulted in the development of relatively safe PN formulations containing amino acids, glucose, lipids (as emulsions), electrolytes, vitamins and trace elements. The aim of this report is to update the clinical effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and evidence-based guidelines on the use of lipid formulations for patients requiring PN.
