<h3>What is total parenteral nutrition (tpn) ?</h3>

A feeding technique that omits the gastrointestinal tract is called total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The majority of the nutrients the body requires are delivered through a vein in a particular mix. When a person cannot or shouldn't receive fluids or a feeding through their mouth, the technique is used.

  • TPN should not be abruptly stopped (particularly in patients taking insulin), since this could result in hypoglycemia. If, for whatever reason, the TPN solution runs out while a new bag is being prepared, hang D5W at the same rate of infusion until the new TPN bag is ready.
