Home parenteral nutrition: Parenteral Nutrition Group.
Since June, 1979, a patient with small-bowel obstruction caused by radiation enteritis has been successfully maintained on parenteral nutrition at home. Home parenteral nutrition gives such patients a chance to lead good quality, independent life, and to avoid the necessity of prolonged stays in hospital.
