title: Pediatric parenteral nutrition: differences in practice from adult care.
abstract: Pediatric and adult parenteral nutrition have more similarities than differences. The differences between the two practices become apparent in the time frame for starting support, a few pediatric-specific products, and growth monitoring. The biggest challenge facing the practitioner is to familiarize him- or herself with the wide range of requirements for macro- and micronutrients.
