title: [Training degree assessment of staff producing parenteral nutrition in Pharmacy Services].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the level of expertise of Pharmacy personnel in the manufacturing of total parenteral nutrition.
  
  
  METHODS
  An on-line survey including 17 questions concerning key aspects of TPN manufacturing was designed. Survey monkey software was used to create the survey and to analize its results.
  
  
  RESULTS
  135 answers were received. 95% of the participant Pharmacy services had written standard manufacturing procedures. 67% answered that phosphate salts should be the first electrolite to be additioned into the total parenteral nutrition and 34% affirmed that validation of the aseptic manufacturing technique was not performed. As far as personnel training was concerned, 19% of respondents had not received any specific training, although 99% considered it would be necessary to receive it.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The polled personell has an acceptable level of expertise but adequate training courses are still necessary and should be promoted from Pharmacy services.
