Re: TPN transition protocol

[Guest guest]

The ESPEN guidelines say that TPN can be discontinued when you reach 60% of the

daily energy requirements. I'm not sure if the ASPEN guidelines state the same,

in terms of nutritional support I find ESPEN guidelines better and ASPEN (and

that isn't because I'm european ).
