What Role Does Parenteral Nutrition Play in Neonatal Lipid Management?
Parenteral nutrition (PN) is often used in neonates who cannot tolerate enteral feeding. Lipid emulsions are a key component of PN, providing essential fatty acids and calories. However, there are risks associated with long-term use of PN, such as liver dysfunction and hypertriglyceridemia. Careful monitoring and adjustment of lipid content in PN solutions are essential to minimize these risks.
