[III Working Meeting SENPE-Baxter: complementary parenteral nutrition in the critically ill patient]. / III Mesa de Trabajo SENPE-Baxter: nutrición parenteral complementaria en el paciente crítico.

In the setting of a multidisciplinary debate, and after reviewing the available evidence as well as the experience from experts, the indications and management guidelines for Complementary Parenteral Nutrition (CPN) in the critically ill patient are established. The conclusion refers to the importance of its indication in all the cases where enteral nutrition (EN) is insufficient to cover at least 60% of the caloric-protein target. At least 80% of the patient's caloric requirements should be covered with EN and CPN, with the recommendation of targeting 100% of the demands.
