What is Parenteral Nutrition
 Parenteral nutrition refers to the infusion of intravenous
nutrition formula into the bloodstream
DAA, 2011
Selection Criteria for Parenteral
Nutrition
 Should be used in patients who are or will become
malnourished, and
 Who do not have sufficient gastrointestinal function to
be able to restore / maintain nutritional status
McClave et al.,2009
Access of parenteral nutrition
Access of parenteral nutrition
 Central parenteral nutrition (CPN)
 To large, high blood flow vein (e.g. superior vena
cava)
 For long term parenteral nutrition
 Central Parenteral Nutrition solution osmolarity can
be > 900mOsm/L
 More suitable for volume-sensitive patients (e.g.
patients with heart, renal or liver problem)
Access of parenteral nutrition
 Peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN)
 Catheter tip placement in a small vein (e.g. forearm)
 PeripherallParenteral Nutrition solution osmolarity < 900
mOsm/L
 Usually do not fully meet nutrition requirements
 Use as:
 Supplemental feeding
 Transition to oral/enteral feeding
 Temporary PN when central access has not been initiated
Requirements of critically ill
patients
Energy requirement
Macronutrient requirements
Micronutrient requirements
Requirements during metabolic
stress
 Adequate energy is essential for metabolically stressed patients
 Avoidance of overfeeding in the critically ill patients is important
 Excess calories can result in complications:
 hyperglycaemia
 hepatic steatosis
 excess CO2 production (exacerbate respiratory insufficiency /
prolong weaning from mechanical ventilation)
Krause’s, 2012
How much energy should
critically ill patients receive?
 ESPEN Guidelines 2009:
 “as close as possible to the energy expenditure in
order to decrease negative energy balance” (Grade
B);
 “in the absence of indirect calorimetry, ICU patients
should receive 25kcal/kg/day increasing to target
over the next 2-3 days” (Grade C)
Singer P et al (2009)
Calculations of requirement
 Estimation of energy requirement
=
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) + Activity
Factor
+ Stress Factor

Macronutrients Requirements
Macronutrient requirements
Protein
 depending on the baseline nutritional status, degree
of injury and metabolic demand, or any abnormal
losses (e.g. open wound or burned skin)
 Varies between 0.9-1.5g/kg/day for various
conditions
Krause’s,
2012
Macronutrient requirements
Carbohydrate
 Ensures that protein is not catabolised for energy during
metabolism
 Excessive administration:
 hyperglycaemia
 hepatic abnormalities
  ventilatory drives
 Maximum infusion rate of carbohydrate: <5mg/minute/kg
body weight
DAA, 2011
Macronutrient requirements
Fat
 ~ 10% of calories/day from fat provide 2% to 4% of
calories from linoleic acid (LA) in order to prevent
Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency
 Soybean and safflower oils: rich sources of LA
 LA: pro-inflammatory & immunosuppressive
 Maximum infusion rate of fat: <0.11g/hour/kg body
weight
DAA, 2011
Micronutrient Requirements
Micronutrient requirements
 Ready-made Parenteral Nutritional Products are free of
vitamins and trace elements
 The addition of vitamins and trace elements are always
required
ESPEN Guidelines 2009;
Casaer & Van den Berghe, 2014
Micronutrients
 Vitamins and trace elements addition via the
addition of:
 Soluvit® N
 Vitalipid N® Adult
 Addamel® N
Soluvit® N
 provide the daily requirement of water-soluble
vitamins
 A vial (10ml) = normal daily requirement of
water-soluble vitamins
Fresenius Kabi
Vitalipid N® Adult
 meet the daily requirement of the fat-soluble
vitamins A, D2, E and K1 in adults & children aged
11 years or older
 One ampoule (10ml) = daily intake of fat-soluble
vitamins
 Contraindications: hypersensitivity to egg protein /
soybean / peanut protein
Fresenius Kabi
Addamel® N
 covers basal or moderately  trace elements
needs
 The recommended daily does for adult patients
with basal or moderately elevated needs is 10ml
(one ampoule)
 Contraindications: in patients with blocked bile flow,
and manganese levels must be checked if
treatment lasts > 4 weeks

Refeeding Syndrome
Refeeding Syndrome
1. What is refeeding syndrome?
 A metabolic disorder as a consequence of too aggressive
administration of nutrition after a prolonged inadequate nutrition
supply
 Characterized by hypophosphataemia, hypomagnesiumaemia and
hypokalaemia; with excessive sodium and fluid retention
 May cause potentially lethal electrolye flucatuations involving
metabolic, haemodynamic & neuromuscular problems
Stanga, Z et al (2008)
Krause’s (2012)
Mehanna et al (2008)
Refeeding Syndrome
2. Who is at risk?
 Meet ANY of the criteria:
 BMI < 16kgm-2
 NPO ≥ 10 days (or with minimal nutrition intake > 10 days)
 Weight loss > 15% in 3 to 6 months
 Hypophosphataemia, hypokalaemia, hypomagnesaemia
Stanga, Z et al (2008)
Refeeding syndrome
3. How to prevent?
 Start feeding at < 50% of energy requirement, rate can
then be  if no refeeding problem detected
 For high risk of refeeding: start with 10kcal/kg/day
 For very malnourished patients, start with 5kcal/kg/day,
with cardiac monitoring
NICE guideline (2006)
Refeeding syndrome
3. How to prevent?
 Vitamin supplementation: before and for the first 10
days of refeeding
 Oral, enteral or IV supplements of K, PO4, Ca & Mg
should be given unless blood levels are  before
refeeding
NICE guideline (2006)
PN formulations
Currently available formulations in
PMH
PN Formulations
 Besides carbohydrate and protein content varies, type of fat
emulsions used also differ
 Most commonly used is soybean oil based fat emulsion
 Alternatively fat emulsions:




Soybean oil + MCT
Soybean oil + Olive Oil
Fish oil
other multi-lipids (a mixture of soy, MCT, olive and fish oil)
DAA, 2011
ASPEN Position Paper, 2012
Soybean oil
 Examples: Kabiven Central, Kabiven Peripheral
 The most commonly used fat emulsion type
 Linoleic Acid (LA, n-6) comprise a 50% of total fatty acid profile
 Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA, n-3) about 10% of total fatty acid profile
  omega 6 content  drawback due to its pro-inflammatory potential
ASPEN Position Paper (2012)
Soybean oil + MCT
 Examples: Nutriflex Lipid Special, Nutriflex Lipid Plus
 Soybean oil : MCT = 50 : 50
 MCT:
 readily oxidizable
 Safe source of lipid
 pro-inflammatory properties
Soybean oil + Olive oil
 Examples: Oliclinomel
 Olive oil : soybean oil = 80 : 20
  the content of omega 6 in formulation by ~ 75%
 Higher vitamin E content for its anti-oxidating properties
ASPEN Position Paper (2012)
Multi-lipids
 Examples: SMOF Kabiven
 A mixture of soybean oil, MCT, olive oil and fish oil in a
ratio of 30 : 30 : 30 : 10
 Fish Oil:
 rich in omega 3 (anti-inflammatory properties)
ASPEN Position Paper (2012)
How to choose?
How to choose?
1. Based on calculated energy / protein requirements
2. Disease Specific:

Renal / Cardiac diseases Vs Fluid content of PN

BGA / pCO2 Vs CHO content
Initiation of parenteral nutrition
Initiation of Parenteral
Nutrition
1. Ensure the selected formulation is compatible with the
route of parenteral nutrition (central / peripheral)
2. Choice of parenteral nutrition regimen
 Continuous PN (Q24H)
 Cyclic / intermittent (Q16H/Q12H)
3. Ensure final infusion rate DOES NOT exceed the
maximum infusion rate for fat and CHO
