Mission, Nutrition! Pharmacists Leading the Charge with Alternative Lipids and Transforming Parenteral Nutrition Practice

Patient Safety CE Offered

Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a life-sustaining therapy administered to many hospital and home infusion patients each year. However, PN is a complex therapy, and this complexity increases the risk of errors and potential patient harm. Lipids play an integral role in PN, yet formulating appropriate recommendations can be challenging given the range of factors involved: dosing strategies; the characteristics and differences among lipid sources; patient-specific and safety considerations; best practices for safe and effective use; and strategies for adapting during shortages. In addition, significant gaps persist between current PN practice and established guidance, further increasing the risk of errors and patient harm.

This educational activity will discuss the integral role of lipid injectable emulsions (ILEs) in PN, including their components, recommendations for appropriate use, and strategies to proactively prepare for and manage ILE shortages. The activity will also examine gaps between current PN practice and established guidance and highlight opportunities to close these gaps and improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and safety of PN therapy.
