Parenteral nutrition (PN) is indicated in the critical care unit for patients who are unable to meet their nutritional needs via enteral feeding, such as those with gastrointestinal dysfunction, severe pancreatitis, or bowel obstruction. It is also used in patients with high metabolic demands, such as those with severe burns, trauma, or sepsis, where rapid nutritional support is essential. Additionally, PN may be necessary for patients with prolonged unconsciousness or those recovering from major surgeries that affect digestive function. Careful monitoring is required to prevent complications associated with PN.

Home parenteral nutrition is used when patients are transferred from the hospital to an alternative setting such as transitional care units, rehabilitation hospitals or back home. It involves delivering parenteral nutrition via a central line and this nutrition is most likely provided by a commercial company.
