Hello This week is home IV nutrition awareness week. In celebration of this event, I wanted to share how I set up my IV nutrition. This is my bag of IV nutrition. It is also called TPN (total parenteral nutrition). It comes in two forms. One bag is white and the other bag is clear. The clear bag has water dextrose, amino acids and electrolytes such as calcium, chloride and sodium. This white bag has the exact same items in it, except it also has lipids. Lipids are fatty molecules which are white. When they are added to the TPN, it turns the TPN solution white.


I do three bags of the lipids each week and 4 clear bags each week. Join me this week as I share how I spike my TPN bag, prime the tubing, add multivitamins to my TPN and connect the tubing to my TPN pump. Happy Home Parenteral Nutrition Awareness Week! #godismystrength #tpn #homemedicine
