Total parenteral nutrition in packages. Methods of application in a general surgery department
1989
Abstract In the period June 1987-March 1988, 80 patients classifiable according to ASPEN criteria were submitted to Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) using a single package nutrient mixing technique. The problems relating to the compatibility and stability of the solution are analysed and a protocol is proposed for the preparation of packages and the management of the central venous catheter compatible with the needs of a general surgery department. Personal experience has enabled us to observe the undoubted advantages of this technique: reduction of the time necessary for nursing the TPN patient, greater reliability in controlling speed of infusion and infectious complications, greater comfort for the patient.
