Current trends in parenteral nutrition

Parenteral nutrition has currently become an effective way of nutrition support for most patients who are unable to be fed by gut. Advances of parenteral feeding mainly include provision of new lipid emulsions and supplementation of glutamine to support immune functions and prevent infections. Nevertheless, the composition of contemporary parenteral nutrition is not ideal by far. Infectious and metabolic complications continue to be among risks of the procedure and therefore it is necessary to respect right indications and strictly follow safe practices for parenteral nutrition.

Keywords: parenteral nutrition, fat emulsion, glutamine, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids
