    Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) offers life support for short bowel syndrome patients. Intensive training and multidisciplinary support are crucial for successful home management and improved quality of life.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Nutrition
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is a critical therapy for patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) refractory to conventional treatments.
    • Successful HPN requires specialized patient training and adherence to a rigorous home-based program.
    • Multidisciplinary healthcare teams are essential for managing the complex needs of HPN patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the essential components of successful home parenteral nutrition programs.
    • To emphasize the role of specialized training and healthcare teams in HPN.
    • To discuss the ongoing needs for optimizing HPN therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • This review synthesizes current knowledge on HPN for SBS.

  • It emphasizes the necessity of comprehensive training and support systems.
  • It identifies areas for future research and development in HPN.

    • Main Results:

    • HPN can be a life-sustaining treatment, enabling patients to return home.
    • Multidisciplinary teams, including physicians, nurses, dietitians, and pharmacists, are vital for HPN success.
    • Accurate definition of nutritional requirements and perfected delivery systems are key.

    Conclusions:

    • Home parenteral nutrition is a valuable, cost-effective life support system for gut failure.
    • It significantly improves quality of life for SBS patients.
    • Continued research is needed to refine nutritional protocols and delivery techniques for long-term HPN.
