Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in the critically ill patient

R Lerda et al. Panminerva Med. 1991 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

A study has been carried out on the effectiveness of a total parenteral nutrition (TPN) program on 12 patients in intensive care units (ICU). Conclusions have been drawn from biohumoral parameters during the first fornight's stay in the ICU. Results, relating to the re-equilibrium of the glycid and protydic sectors, varied in respect of their temporal distribution. There was in fact a stabilisation, if only temporary, in the glycemy, in the very first days, while the proteic metabolism figures showed a recovery leading to stabilisation only in the second week.
