Tpn

Total Parenteral Nutrition. We doctors call it “TPN.” It’s used when a patient has any severe bodily wound. We may not be able to use the gut to feed the patient. While the body heals, the patient still needs to be fed. That’s where TPN comes in. TPN provides all the protein, sugars, and fats – as well as vitamins and minerals – needed to sustain life while healing occurs. It’s given intravenously. It’s life saving.

Doctors at Ukraine’s O.O. Shalimov National Institute of Surgery and Transplant Medicine reached out to ask us to help cover the costs of TPN for their patients. This hospital in Kyiv is one of the main treatment hospitals in Ukraine for soldiers with severe injuries, and they use over 300 liters a month of TPN taking care of the wounded.
