Parenteral nutrition by peripheral vein.

J M Watters, J B Freeman

    The Surgical Clinics of North America
    |June 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Peripheral parenteral nutrition offers a safe alternative for perioperative nutritional support when central venous access is not feasible. It provides essential nutrients and simplifies management for diabetic patients, minimizing complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Nutrition
    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Support

    Background:

    • Inadequate oral intake necessitates alternative nutritional support during the perioperative period.
    • Central venous access for total parenteral nutrition may be contraindicated due to sepsis or thrombosis.
    • Peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN) offers an alternative route for nutritional delivery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the role and efficacy of peripheral parenteral nutrition in specific clinical scenarios.
    • To highlight PPN as a viable option for perioperative nutritional support.
    • To discuss techniques for vein preservation in PPN.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical applications and benefits of peripheral parenteral nutrition.
    • Comparison of PPN with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) regarding risks and complications.
    • Discussion of PPN for nutritional repletion and maintenance therapy.

    Main Results:

    • PPN provides essential calories and protein for nutritional repletion and maintenance.
    • It avoids risks associated with central venous catheterization.
    • PPN simplifies metabolic management, especially for diabetic patients, with fewer complications than TPN.

    Conclusions:

    • Peripheral parenteral nutrition is a valuable tool for perioperative nutritional support when central access is not possible.
    • It offers a safer alternative with minimal metabolic complications.
    • PPN is effective for both nutritional repletion and protein-sparing therapy.
