Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN)
Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) is a specialized form of nutrition given directly into the bloodstream when a patient is unable to receive adequate nutrition through the digestive system. At Dr. Santosh’s Chirayu Hospital, TPN is administered under strict medical supervision to support growth, healing, and recovery—especially in newborns and critically ill children.
When is TPN Required?
TPN is commonly used for:
- Premature and low birth weight babies
- Newborns with immature or non-functioning intestines
- Post-surgical pediatric patients
- Severe gastrointestinal disorders
- Intestinal obstruction or malabsorption
- Critically ill infants unable to tolerate oral or tube feeding
What Does TPN Provide?
TPN delivers all essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, including:
- Proteins for growth and tissue repair
- Carbohydrates for energy
- Fats for calorie support
- Vitamins and minerals
