Medical Conditions - Parenteral Nutrition

Parenteral Nutrition refers to maintaining an individual's nutritional needs through an intravenous route. This means, that all the essential nutrients, fluids, and salts are passed into the body through a cannula placed in some blood vessels in the body. This is preferred when somebody is not in a position to eat by mouth, or via mouth tube feeding. And when the digestive system is unable to intake, digest or absorb the food.
