Evaluation of the Safety of Rapid Parenteral Nutrition Titration.

Background: Initiation of parenteral nutrition (PN) can cause complications including hyperglycemia (HGL), electrolyte abnormalities, and refeeding syndrome (RFS). These concerns lead many to titrate over several days, but our practice is to titrate PN to goal within 8 hours. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of titrating PN to goal within 8 hours.
