Parenteral Nutrition Calculations

👉🏼 Lecture Notes: https://cnu.sellfy.store/p/parenteral-nutrition-calculations/

This video provides you with a step-by-step process for calculating parenteral nutrition.

You will learn how to the estimate nutritional needs for a patient, determine the grams and volume for each macronutrient, and how to write a prescription.

Remember, parenteral nutrition is intravenous nutrition!

There are several types of parenteral nutrition like PPN, TPN, 2-in-1 bags, 3-in-1 bags, and pre-mixed formulations.

This video just gives you the basics of figuring out the composition using macronutrients.

In future videos, I will talk about the different types, how this influences the composition, and how to determine the micronutrient composition. So subscribe and stay tuned!

**NOTE**

When discussing grams of carbohydrate per day, I say “1,400 minutes” on the audio, but the screen says “1,440”

1,440 is the correct number.
