B. Braun“s parenteral nutrition solutions
are first choice
Parenteral nutrition (PN) is defined as the supply of vital nutrients
bypassing the digestive tract.
Parenteral nutrition becomes necessary when it is not possible for
the body to ingest sufficient nutrients via the oral/enteral route and to
utilize these nutrients adequately. The choice between the enteral or parenteral
route is decided very simply by the question "Is the gastrointestinal tract
functional?" |
