Objective: Parenteral nutrition represents a therapeutic option for patients with type 3 intestinal failure. If used exclusively, parenteral nutrition has to be complete to provide all essential nutrients. The aim was to assess the availability of parenteral nutrition in all parts of the world, to better comprehend the global situation, and to prepare an action plan to increase access to parenteral nutrition.

The ESPEN Symposium on perioperative nutrition was held in Nottingham, UK, on 14-15 October 2018 and the aims of this document were to highlight the scientific basis for the nutritional and metabolic management of surgical patients.
Methods: This paper represents the opinion of experts in this multidisciplinary field and those of a patient and caregiver, based on current evidence.
Article Synopsis
- Intestinal failure (IF) is defined by the need for intravenous nutrition due to an inability to absorb nutrients; acute IF is a reversible type that affects hospitalized patients.
- A study in 23 hospitals found that 206 out of 338 patients receiving parenteral nutrition (PN) were identified with acute IF, mostly due to issues like disordered gut motility and prior abdominal surgeries.
- Hospital mortality for patients was high at 21.5%, with a median stay of 36 days; longer PN duration (≥42 days) was linked to a higher risk of 90-day mortality, alongside factors like age and ICU admission.
Background And Objectives: Protein-energy and micronutrient malnutrition are global public health problems which, when not prevented and severe, require medical management by clinicians with nutrition expertise, preferably as a collectively skilled team, especially when disease-related. This study aimed to investigate barriers and facilitators of clinical nutrition services (CNS), especially the use of oral, enteral (EN) and parenteral (PN) nutrition in institutional and home settings.
Methods And Study Design: An international survey was performed between January and December 2014 in twenty-six countries from all continents.
Intestinal failure (IF) is the consequence of a reduction of gut function below the minimum necessary for the absorption of nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract. Types I and II comprise acute intestinal failure (AIF). Although its prevalence is relatively low, type II AIF is serious and requires specialist multidisciplinary care, often for prolonged periods before its resolution.

The effective screening and treatment with enteral (EN) or parenteral (PN) nutrition are the key elements of the policy called Optimal Nutrition Care for All (ONCA). The study tried to analyze the impact of the state's economy on the implementation of EN and PN to define its role in ONCA.
