Abstract

Parenteral nutrition (PN) involves the administration of fluids and nutrients using routes other than the gut, although usually involves central venous catheters (CVC). Home PN (HPN) refers to instances where this nutritional support is administered in the patient's home. Although this form of treatment is expensive and complex, it facilitates patients’ social rehabilitation, returning them to their home environment, reducing healthcare costs, and improving quality of life (QoL). Pediatric patients present specific technical characteristics, as not only should a proper nutritional status be maintained, but also optimal growth and development.
