What You'll Learn

Description

The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) has been highlighting errors and harmful events related to parenteral nutrition (PN) for nearly two decades. Most recently, the long-standing shortages of PN products have worsened the risk for errors in the prescribing, preparation, and administration of these sterile compounds. During this time, ISMP has seen an increase in the reported number of errors and workarounds. In addition, among other strategies to conserve limited resources, organizations have been forced to reduce the number of days they provide PN to patients. In other cases, organizations may elect to utilize alternative products, such as multi-chamber bag parenteral nutrition (MCP-PN), a standardized, commercially available parenteral nutrition product that requires fewer compounding steps before administration. Two chamber and three chamber bags may provide a safety advantage for specific patient populations and during parenteral nutrient product shortages

This program will discuss the benefits of learning the risks and error prevention strategies related to compounding parenteral nutrition, the place in therapy for MCB-PN including target patient populations (e.g., adult, chronically ill, critically ill) and settings (e.g., critical care, home), hearing firsthand experience how to integrate the use of MCB-PN into practice, and review the role that alternative lipids plays in nutrition.

 

Intended Audience

  • Nurses
  • Dieticians
  • Pharmacists
  • Pharmacy Technicians
  • Physicians 

 

Learning Objectives

  • Describe three risks associated with preparation of parenteral nutrition. 
  • Explain the place in therapy and steps to safely implement use of multi-chamber bag parenteral nutrition.
  • Describe alternative lipid sources and their use in parenteral nutrition therapy

What You'll Learn

Program Description:

Diet is a key determinant of gut microbiome composition and function.  This may be especially pertinent for supporting better tolerance and health outcomes in pediatric and adult patients receiving enteral nutrition.  Join our panel of clinician researchers as we review key dietary influences on microbiome health and implications the evidence has for enteral feeding, focusing on formula components.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify dietary factors that contribute most significantly to the health of the gut microbiome.
  2. Describe microbiome alterations in hospitalized patients and the impact of formulas with real food on GI symptoms in the pediatric acute care setting.
  3. Discuss recent evidence on blenderized tube feeding, the microbiome, GI tolerance, and practical applications for the post-acute care space.

What You'll Learn

Session Description:

This session will provide a brief overview of the clinical benefits of blenderized tube feeding (BTF) and the impact on clinical outcomes in both pediatric and adult enteral nutrition patients. Methods of administration with emphasis on indications for using an enteral feeding pump will be covered including aspects of gastric and jejunal administration.

Learning Objectives: 

At the conclusion of the symposium, participants will be able to:

  • Describe outcomes of BTF in medically complex children and adults with head and neck cancer
  • Review BTF administration including gastric and jejunal routes and primary methods of administration (discuss standard vs. new generation enteral feeding pumps)
  • Discuss the value of using the IDDSI Framework & Testing Methods to determine BTF viscosity.
