Home parenteral nutrition
This second edition of the book covers all aspects of home parenteral nutrition (HPN) on the basis of the evidence-based medicine and on the experience of worldwide experts in this field. The book has 40 chapters, which are grouped into 6 parts. Part I provides an overview on the history of HPN and the epidemiology in different areas around the world, raising some differences in the use of HPN throughout various countries. Part II deals with the most frequent clinical conditions in which HPN can be initiated, from short bowel syndrome to cancers. Part III is devoted to HPN complications, and provides recommendations for preventing these complications. Part IV covers practical issues - requirements, teaching, monitoring and others - of HPN including the contribution of pharmacists, dietitians, nurses and physicians. Part V focuses on HPN in infants, children and adolescents. Finally, part VI covers some miscellaneous issues (quality of life, legislation, ethical issues) of HPN. A special interest has been given to intestinal transplantation that is considered in some patients who are on HPN.
