Abstract
Parenteral nutrition can be a useful therapeutic and prophylactic tool in managing some geriatric patients who present with nutritional deficiencies that accompany acute and chronic diseases. An outline is given of recommended procedures, e.g., solutions, dosages, indications and contraindications. The techniques described permit a standardized approach to parenteral nutrition for most patients.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
