[Prevention of metabolic complications in prolonged parenteral feeding].

Modern technics in parenteral nutrition can prevent metabolic and infectious complications. Supplying a patient with a daily ration according to his needs in the form of either hyper or normo-nutrition serves as the basis for this prevention. All that is required for success is a deep venous approach and regular biological and clinical surveillance of the patient. The authors conclusions are based on a study of 1.800 patients.
