What You'll Learn

Explore the clinical considerations for prescribing parenteral nutrition, focusing on optimizing macronutrient delivery to reduce metabolic complications. Through participation in this course, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the current guidelines for macronutrient dosing, including calories, protein, dextrose, and lipid administration. Emphasis will be placed on preventing overfeeding/underdosing macronutrients, managing complications, and exploring commercially available lipid emulsions. Through case-based discussions and evidence-based recommendations, learn practical approaches to adopting the latest ASPEN and ESPEN guidelines. Additionally, this course will address barriers to guideline implementation and offer strategies to bridge the gap between knowledge and practical applications in clinical practice. 

  • Discuss the history of macronutrient dosing in parenteral nutrition. 
  • Identify the risks associated with overfeeding/underdosing macronutrients in parenteral nutrition. 
  • Apply current ASPEN/ESPEN guidelines and manufacturer’s recommendations for macronutrients in parenteral nutrition. 
  • Recognize barriers to adopting parenteral nutrition guidelines and implement strategies to promote evidence-based practice changes in clinical settings.
