Summary and conclusion

PN is an effective and potentially lifesaving method of administering nutrition support therapy in patients who cannot receive adequate oral or enteral nutrition, but may be associated with several complications. Enteral nutrition is the preferred route of providing nutrition support therapy. Administration of PN is associated with significant adverse effects, and patients must be monitored closely. Patients receiving PN therapy are at risk for metabolic, infectious, and mechanical complications. Optimal design of a PN regimen is essential to minimize the risk of adverse effects and complications, and patients must be monitored closely while receiving PN in order to optimize outcomes.
