TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition)

Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) is a method of delivering all essential nutrients—such as glucose, amino acids, fats, vitamins, and minerals—directly into a patient's bloodstream through a vein. It is used when the digestive system cannot properly absorb nutrients, due to illness, surgery, or injury. TPN ensures the body receives adequate nutrition to support healing, energy, and overall health. It is typically administered in a hospital setting or specialized clinic and requires careful monitoring to maintain proper nutrient balance and prevent complications.
