In most of these patients the underlying gastrointestinal disorder is some form of extreme short bowel syndrome, such as Crohn's or mesenteric infarction (1). Most home parenteral nutrition patients experience rapid regain of weight and strength; septic complications are rare (2), and not infrequently these persons return to full-time work. Although the typical hospital intravenous nutrition patient is seriously ill with multiple metabolic disturbances,...References1. BROVIAC J and SCRIBNER B, Prolonged parenteral nutrition in the home.
