Summary: | Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a widely-used therapeutic option in pediatrics. When prescribing PN, clinicians must pay particular attention to specific characteristics of the pediatric patient regarding energy requirements, metabolic use of nutrients, venous access, etc. Systematized prescription will help to avoid miscalculations and prevent adverse events. This paper reviews international recommendations for PN prescribing and gathers advice on useful practical issues, e.g. calculation of energy intake, precise proportions between macronutrients, security issues, and other. |
