TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition)

Total Parenteral Nutrition is a service we offer for in-home patients. With TPN infusion therapy, a patient receives a special formulation of protein, carbohydrates, and electrolytes with or without lipids (fats) to provide complete nutrition via the intravenous route. Patients that receive total parenteral nutrition will usually have a “central” line or a catheter inserted in a vein to provide the infusion therapy.
