Parenteral Nutritional Therapy FAQ's
Parenteral Nutrition (PN) is an intravenous (IV) administration which may include carbohydrates, fat, protein, minerals, vitamins, electrolytes, trace elements, and additional medication additives. PN is a method of feeding used when you cannot eat or absorb enough food through the digestive system. It is infused directly into the blood stream using an IV and a pump.
Parenteral nutrition is used when a person cannot meet their nutritional needs with oral intake alone and the digestive system is unable to absorb food. PN is infused directly into the blood stream and bypasses the digestive system.
At KabaFusion, we have a team of dietitians, pharmacists, and nurses that work with your provider to develop the safest and most effective therapy plan. The amount, type, and route of administration are tailored to each person with the goal of improving patient outcomes and minimizing infection while allowing patients to live their lives as normally as possible.
There are many individuals who continue to work and have very full and productive lives while receiving parenteral nutrition. The main determinant will be the degree of disease that caused the underlying GI problem, as well as the ongoing symptoms. Each person needs to be assessed individually as to their wishes and overall medical condition to determine if they are well enough to work.
