ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the utilization of total parenteral nutrition ( TPN) in a hospital to provide reference for the clinical rational drug use. Methods:The utilization and trend of TPN in the surgical inpatients during August 2012 to July 2013 in the hospital were analyzed statistically. Results:Totally 116 patients received TPN with 1 013 times, and the patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumor accounted for 48. 3%. The average use day was (8. 7 ± 3. 2) d and the total energy was within the range of 900-1 500 kcal. The number of prescription with glycolipid ratio below 1 was 878 (86. 7%), that with hot nitrogen ratio of 100-150 was 689 (68. 0%), that with monovalent cation concentration below 150 mmol·L-1 was 1 008 (99. 5%), that with divalent cation concentra-tion below 5 mmol·L-1 was 879 (86. 8%), that with glutamine was 765 (75. 5%) and that with sugar and insulin ratio (g:u) be-low 3 was 42 (4. 1%). Conclusion:The maln problem in the TPN application in the hospital is that glycolipid ratio in the majority of prescriptions is low, and irrational hot nitrogen ratio, excessive cation concentration and insulin dosage appeared in the minority of pre-scriptions. Clinicians should strengthen the learning of parenteral nutrition knowledge and clinical pharmacists should actively perform reasonable intervention in the TPN prescriptions to promote the reasonable TNP therapy and improve the therapeutic effect.
