Episode description
Parenteral nutrition (PN) is the process of giving someone their nutrition intravenously. It is given when someone’s digestive tract isn’t working properly so they can’t get their energy/nutrient/fluid needs enterally (via the GIT).
Today we will discuss:
- What is in the PN bags?
- Why someone might need PN
- What are the complications
