Abstract

Parenteral nutrition (PN) is the technique of artificial nutrition (AN) that provides the human organism with fluids, energy, and nutrients, which go directly to the circulatory system through the venous network. The main aim of AN is to recover or maintain the nutritional status, enhancing the optimal growing and development of the child. Additionally, in some cases AN enables to control the underlying disease of the patient [1, 2].
