When considering multi-chamber bag parenteral nutrition (MCB-PN), there are a variety of factors to consider, including the patients’ hemodynamic stability and nutrient needs. After a patient is selected, their whole care team must be aware of common risks and challenges to ensure safe and effective delivery. Dr. Charles Turck is joined by Dr. Phil Ayers to discuss appropriate patient selection based on recent updates to ASPEN guidelines and safety considerations. Dr. Ayers is a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy and the Chief of Clinical Pharmacy Services in the Department of Pharmacy at Baptist Medical Center in Jackson, MI.
