parenteral

Examples of parenteral in the following topics:

• Malabsorption of Nutrients

  • In severe deficiency, hospital admission may be required for parenteral administration.
  • People whose absorptive surfaces are severely limited from disease or surgery may need long term total parenteral nutrition.

• Considerations in Microbial Control

  • This is also essential in the manufacture of parenteral pharmaceuticals.

• Sepsis and Septic Shock

  • Ensuring adequate nutrition—preferably by enteral feeding, but if necessary by parenteral nutrition—is important during prolonged illness.
