title: Total parenteral nutrition. A review.
abstract: Surgery, trauma, severe sepsis and burns are the most demanding physical stresses that a patient is likely to suffer, yet until recently, the nutrition of these patients was usually completely ignored. The concept of adequate feeding by the intravenous route is now well accepted and the authors present a review of many of the appropriate preparations which are available in South Africa, as well as a description of several regimens that have been successful in total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
