Total Parenteral Nutrition

• Carbohydrate
• Give 60-80 of non-protein calories as dextrose
• Dextrose concentration generally ranges from
  20-25
• 20 680 Kcal/L
• 25 850 Kcal/L

14
Total Parenteral Nutrition

• Amino Acids
• Ideal Amino Acid Solution
• 50/50 Ratio of Essential to Nonessential
• Wide Variety of Nonessential
• Minimum of Glycine
• Substantial amounts of Branch Chained AA
• Generally considered therapeutically
  interchangeable.

Total Parenteral NutritionElectrolytes
16
Total Parenteral NutritionTrace Elements

• Recommendations per NAG
• Zinc Poor wound healing
• Copper Anemia
• Chromium Glucose Intolerance
• Manganese ??
• Selenium Keshans Disease
• Why not iron?

17
Total Parenteral NutritionVitamins

• Recommendations per NAG
• Multivitamin Infusion 10 ml
• Contain all essential vitamins
• MVI-12 (aai Pharma) or Infuvite (Baxter)
• Fat soluble A, D, E
• Water soluble Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin,
  Pantothenic Acid, Pyridoxine, C, Folic Acid, B12,
  Biotin
• In 2003 Vitamin K added per FDA recommendations

18
Total Parenteral NutritionFormulation

• Standardization
• Meets requirements of most patients
• Assists physician in order writing
• Reduces errors (writing, transcription and order
  entry)
• Increased pharmacy efficiency
• Cost savings

19
Total Parenteral NutritionFormulation

• Patient Specific
• Consistent with current recommendations
• Can be accomplished with and without automated
  compounder

20

22
Total Parenteral Nutrition

• Stability
• Under refrigeration and before addition of
  vitamins
• 2-in-1 up to 30 days
• 3-in-1 up to 10 days

23
Total Parenteral NutritionCompatibility

• Calcium-Phosphate compatibility
• Factors which affect stability
• Additive concentration
• Choice of calcium salt
• Order of mixing
• Amino acid concentration
• Amino acid product (brand)
• Temperature
• Storage time
• Addition of l-cysteine (neonatal)

24
Total Parenteral NutritionCompatibility

• How to minimize calcium phosphate precipitation
• Additive concentration......use lower the
  conc.
• Choice of Ca .......use Ca Gluconate, not
  CaCl2
• Order of mixing....add phosphate first, calcium
  last
• Amino acid concentration.use higher AA conc.
• Amino acid product Aminosyn best, Freamine worst
• Temperature.Refrigerate
• Storage time....Minimized storage time
• l-cysteine (neonatal) ..greatly increases
  solubility

25
Total Parenteral NutritionCompatibility

• Insulin
• Up to 50 of insulin is adsorbed to TPN bag,
  tubing and filter
• However Addition of insulin to TPN is considered
  physically compatible and therapeutically
  appropriate
• Tomato theory (dose is titrated)

26
Total Parenteral NutritionCompatibility

• Insulin
• Practical Guidelines
• Minimum dose 10 U / bag
• Dose in 10 U increments
• Avoid putting too much in TPN
• Suppliment with sliding scale
