Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is contraindicated in patients with functional gastrointestinal tracts, as they should receive enteral nutrition instead. It is also not recommended for individuals with severe metabolic disorders, such as certain inborn errors of metabolism, or in cases of acute pancreatitis where the gastrointestinal tract can be used. Additionally, TPN should be avoided in patients with severe fluid overload or those with a high risk of complications from catheter placement.

Contraindications tpn on ca patients?

Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) may be contraindicated in cancer patients who have severe metabolic disturbances, such as significant electrolyte imbalances or hyperglycemia, as TPN can exacerbate these conditions. Additionally, patients with active infections or those who are unable to tolerate the infusion due to gastrointestinal complications may also be unsuitable candidates for TPN. Furthermore, TPN should be approached with caution in patients with a limited life expectancy or those who prefer palliative care. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized medical advice.
