Utilization of Parenteral Nutrition in Major GI Surgery: An Opportunity for Quality Improvement

This podcast discusses a study which evaluated parenteral nutrition (PN) use in a surgical subspecialty practice during a 6-month period evaluating the concordance with recommendations and to identify opportunities for i quality improvement. The authors discuss why PN use is frequently not concordant with established ASPEN recommendations. This leaves opportunity for quality improvement efforts focusing on appropriate initiation of PN based on malnutrition status & anticipated length of PN need. The discussion includes the team’s ongoing efforts to implement practice change. This podcast is sponsored by Fresenius Kabi. The abstract of this study is published in the March 2021 issue of JPEN (https://aspenjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jpen.2095).
