Parenteral Nutrition

Parenteral nutrition means feeding intravenously (through a vein). It includes

✔️amino acids,

✔️carbohydrates,

✔️fat / lipids (Omega 3, MCT, LCT),

✔️electrolytes (Na, Cl, K, Mg) and

✔️vitamin E.

ℹ️ We provide 3️⃣-components parenteral nutrition for patients with:

✔️ cancer (after strong chemotherapy, during gastrointestinal bleedings, in the end stage of cancer, in a case of intestinal obstruction, during radiation enteritis etc.),

✔️ severe inflammatory bowel diseases, necrotizing enterocolitis, prolong diarrhoea, short bowel syndrome,

✔️ after some abdominal surgeries (example, stomach or intestinal resection),

✔️serious geriatric problems (geriatric patients, who have trouble sustaining their nutritional needs through eating or with enteral nutrition).

ℹ️ Parenteral nutrition can be partial (PPN) or total (TPN):

- PPN is given as a supplement to other kinds of food to replace missing elements in your diet or give you additional calories,

- TPN is complete nutrition delivered intravenously to people who can’t eat at all.

ℹ️ There are few benefits of parenteral nutrition:

👍🏻 to give your gastrointestinal system a chance to heal from severe illness or surgery,

👍🏻 for geriatric patients PPN can provide an important boost to help their bodies manage their other difficulties,

👍🏻 for people with permanently impaired gastrointestinal function TPN can be life-saving.
