EN, however, is not feasible in all cases because of intolerance, risk of complications, or a direct contraindication to enteral feeding. For these patients, PN can be provided in a manner that is safe, is metabolically appropriate, and follows the principles of modern critical care nutrition. Adherence to goal-directed fluid resuscitation, provision of trophic doses of PN to meet 20%-25% of protein and/or calorie requirements through the acute phases of illness, use of less-inflammatory intravenous lipid emulsions, and close monitoring of electrolytes, triglyceride levels, and signs of refeeding syndrome all serve to optimize the response to this route of nutrition support.
