Pediatric Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), NIH Clinical Center Nursing Department:"Note: TPN is usually needed only if the patient cannot receive adequate nutrition via the gut. Consider alternate enteral supplementation if appropriate. Use appropriate worksheet a guide to ordering. Note: There are two different worksheets depending on the child's weight (30 kg or less and more than 30 kg) For "Calculations," multiply patient weight (wt) or total volume of TPN by multiplication factors. Multiplication factors are usual ranges. Note suggestions for first day and maximum amounts. Adjust as needed. Right column corresponds to MIS ordering template Be sure to order an inpatient schedule. Standard for short term TPN is to run over 24 hours. For longer term TPN, seek advice on "short-cycle" TPN. Intralipids (20% Fat Emulsion): Placed as a separate order under "Fat Emulsion." See appropriate TPN Worksheet for suggestions. Seek advice from nutritionist, clinical pharmacy specialist, or pediatric consultant as needed. "

Etiology Of Malnutrition In The Cancer Patient, Total Parenteral Nutrition In Cancer Patients, Orthomolecular Oncology:"The etiology of malnutrition is multifactorial, involving secretion of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) by tumor directly or from antigen-antibody allergic response to antineoplastic therapy. Unlike simple starvation, this metabolic response leads to visceral tissue depletion, labelled bypoalbuminemic malnutrition (Harvey et al., 1979). Additional tissue cytokines result in protein wasting, depletion of body fat, and decreased food intake (Fong et al., 1989). The consequence of this cancer cachexia is cell-mediated immune deficiency. Excess morbidity and mortality result from opportunistic infection and failure of wound healing. It is also important to recognize that in some patients specific micronutrient deficiencies, such as iron, calcium, magnesium, or vitamin B12 deficiency can be present even in the absence of weight loss and can be devastating (Blackburn et al., 1977)."

Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), pharmalicensing.com:"Total parenteral nutrition in its complete sense includes the administration of Amino Acids, Fats, Carbohydrates, Minerals and Vitamins. All these elements when given via parenteral route to the patient who "should not", "will not" and "cannot" take food via the oral or the Enteral route. Amino acids play an important role in building up the protein levels of the patient thereby mentioning the proper metabolic activities, building immuno competence and raise the nutritional status of the patient to normal."

Pediatric Parenteral Nutrition, Specialized Clinical Services, Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine, Washington University in St. Louis:"Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a method of supplying nourishment to children unable to eat. The implementation of PN requires decisions about route of infusion, composition of infusate, and the possibility of unusual nutritional needs. The potential benefits and risks for each patient weigh in these decisions. Considered variables or parameters include: child's illness obstacle to enteral feeding: absolute or partial? Temporary or indefinite duration? pre-existing and anticipated nutritional needs quality of life issues: continuous versus cyclic infusion?"
