A.S.P.E.N. Standards for Nutrition Support: Home and Alternate Site Care.
Summary
The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.) updated its standards for home and alternate site nutrition support. These guidelines aim to ensure safe, effective, and high-quality patient nutrition care.
Area of Science:
- Clinical Nutrition
- Metabolism
- Healthcare Standards
Background:
- The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.) comprises various healthcare professionals dedicated to advancing nutrition care.
- A.S.P.E.N. aims for a future where all patients receive optimal nutrition support.
- Clinical nutrition and metabolism are key areas of focus for A.S.P.E.N.'s mission.
Purpose of the Study:
- To update the 2005 and 2006 standards for nutrition support in home care and alternate site settings.
- To provide current evidence-based guidelines for safe and effective nutrition care.
- To enhance the practice of clinical nutrition and metabolism.
Main Methods:
- Consensus development and expert review of existing literature and guidelines.
- Integration of updated scientific evidence and clinical best practices.
- Revision and consolidation of previous standards for home and alternate site care.
Main Results:

2.0K
Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

2.0K
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
