Peripheral PN (PPN) is Often overlooked as of central PN (CPN), as lower osmolasiry lower protein and energy) Solutions must be only limited periods Of time due to thrombophlebitis. This paper describes the Redcliffe Hospital.

I" a 12 month period 12 patients were fed (or attempted fS be) into the jejunum. Diagnoses included surgery for IJ~pRlZ gastrointestinal malignancy or obstruction, pancreatic fistula, pancrea:itiS and biliary peritonitis. Tube placements were: nSsojejunS1 tube placed during operation/procedure - 9; jejunontomy during operation - 2; r.asojej.xnal tube placed by Radiologist - 2 lthe same patient twice); resite surgically placed nasojejunal tube by Radiologist - 1. Feeding was commenced mostly by day 2 o" 20-3Oml/hr Vital or Alitcaq. Goal rStes were achieved i?. 2-3 dSys. Total days of feeding were: 1esS than 5 days - 6: S-13 days - 4; 21-31 days - 3. Problems encountered included: 1 case - vomit and tube dislodged; 3 cSses - tube s:iFped out; 2 cSses - tube removed too eSrly; 1 case feed back up nasogastric tube; 1 CBSC - feed leaked oui drain site; 2 caseS with jejunostomies had persistently large nasog.stric SspirStes (?cause).

Of 66 case.5 of parentera: nucricion in 12 months, 21 were PPN. I" i3 cases PPN %a8 adni?.istcred for S-10 days and ceased as EC longer required. In 8 cases PPN was administered for 3 .days or less, wi:h 4 of these ceasing due to phlebitis. Phlebitis occursed only when administration protocols were not sirictly adhered to. 1n 7 cases CPN was also received, a-d ??N used either prior to or with the removal of the ce"trSi line eg. Sepsis.

Information and evidence on early enteral feeding and uSe of jejunal feeding to Schieve this WBS provided to surgical and anaesthetic staff urd followed up by tube placement during operation. discussions regarding Radiologists agreed to place nasojejunal tubes when required eg. for gastroparesis.

A premix solution of SynchSmi" 13/Cextrose 2Ok with electrolytes and trace elearnts is used (osmolarity = 1lOOnOsm). A maximum of 2 lit.reS daily iS administered, and with 500ml of 20% Intralipid provides 809 protein and 7400Kj. To reduce the risk of phlebitis the Intralipid is run continuously with the premix over 24 hours, hydrocortisone (30&l) and heparin (lOOOUnits/l) are added to the premix, and a transiderm Cm-ate patch (25mg) is placed over the IV site. IV sites Sre routinely changed every two to maximum three days. PPN is used when parenteral nutri:ion is required but a central line is undesirable. Maximum time on PPS is about 10 days.
