Abstract
Over a four year period 45 surgical patients received total parenteral nutrition (TPN) either as a sole therapy or as an adjunct to surgery. Males were three times the number of females with a mean age of 31 and 27 years respectively. The main indications were intestinal failure, burns or preoperative build up in wasted patients. The central line was the preferred route with a mean duration of 22 days. Septic complications were the most common causing death of two patients.
