Don’t Starve Your Patient!: A Practical Guide to Tube Feeds and TPN - On Demand 2026
Midnight NPO shouldn’t mean starvation. Using real cases and ASPEN/SCCM guidance, this session shows you how to manage enteral and parenteral nutrition, initiate tube feeds or TPN safely, and prevent refeeding, fluid overload, and CLABSI. You’ll document malnutrition precisely and collaborate with dietitians and pharmacists as you evaluate choices, apply a clear framework, and create safer inpatient care.
