Summary

Provision of artificial nutrition in the home is often necessary and has become a routine part of caring for patients with a variety of disorders. Indications for these therapies in the home do not differ from the hospital. The cost of these life-sustaining therapies, both economic and to quality of life, is substantial. Complications, while less often life-threatening, can be serious and include problems due both to the infusion or instillation of artificial nutrition, and to the techniques required to provide access. Lifespan is most often limited by the patient’s underlying disease and not the nutrition support-related complications, but there are disease-specific considerations in applying these therapies. These issues are reviewed herein.
