title: Home parenteral nutrition support for intestinal failure.
abstract: Home parenteral nutrition is a life-saving treatment for many patients with intestinal failure. Expert placement and care of the vascular access device reduces the incidence of access-related complications. Careful monitoring of fluid, electrolyte, and macronutrient and micronutrient status can minimize major organ dysfunction and metabolic complications. A multidisciplined, integrated nutrition support team can allow patients with intestinal failure who need home parenteral nutrition maintain a near-normal life.
