Total Parenteral NutritionJosef E. Fischer Updates the first edition of Total Parenteral Nutrition. Discusses the lessening enthusiasm for TPN as an almost miraculous therapy, the shortcomings and complications that have arisen, and the fact that fewer patients than originally thought are not appropriate for nutritional support. Discusses the new series of solutions and approaches which have been advocated, the reemphasis on the gut, and the ushering in of the principles of nutritional pharmacology. |
