What is the difference between TPN and PPN?

Parenteral therapy has two forms, peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN) and total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The main difference between PPN and TPN is the route of delivery. PPN is delivered through a large-bore peripheral IV catheter; TPN requires a central venous catheter.

When would you use PPN?

PPN is intended for short-term use or supplementation. In most instances, it is used to maintain a previously well-nourished, nonhypermetabolic patient or to serve as a bridge to centrally administered infusions or enteral feedings until more suitable nutrition can be provided.

What is the main difference between PPN and TPN quizlet?

TPN is CARBOHYDRATE based while PPN is FAT based. Central parenteral nutrition solutions usually contain about 1 kcal/ml and they usually provide about 55% to 60% of calories as carbohydrate (in the form of high concentration dextrose) and 15% to 20% of calories as protein.

Is Parenteral nutrition considered DME?

Parenteral/Enteral Nutrition (PEN) Therapy Parenteral/enteral pumps are in their own DMEPOS Payment Category and are limited to payments for a total of 15 months during a period of medical need. Payment policies for these pumps generally follow the rules for capped rental items.

What are 3 differences between TPN and PPN?

PPN will usually involve a more diluted formula with fewer calories and is only recommended for a short-term duration. In contrast, TPN is for long-term or even permanent duration, and will therefore use a denser, higher calorie formulation. These differences usually involve different methods of administration.
