title: Home parenteral nutrition in the infant.
abstract: Home parenteral nutrition has become an important technique for the provision of nutritional support to infants in their home environment. It allows infants to exhibit long-term growth and development while the slow process of intestinal adaptation occurs. An important insight into the role of specific nutrients and their effect on body metabolism has been gained with the clinical use of total parenteral nutrition.
