An evaluation of total parenteral nutrition using Vamin and Aminosyn as protein base in critically ill preterm infants.
A total of 75 preterm infants with gestation less than 32 wk received total parenteral nutrition (TPN) using Vamin and Aminosyn as protein base lasting more than 20 days. They were monitored for signs of liver dysfunction, cholestatic jaundice, and TPN-induced metabolic bone disease (osteopenia of prematurity). It was observed that severity of TPN-induced cholestasis depends on the duration of TPN and quantity of protein infused. When used as a protein base, Vamin seemed to be superior to Aminosyn. TPN-induced metabolic bone disease was strongly correlated to the duration of TPN. We suggest close monitoring of critically ill preterm infants on TPN for quantity of protein infusate, liver dysfunction, cholestatic jaundice, and TPN-induced metabolic bone disease. Intravenous protein intake should be limited to less than 2.5 g/kg/day in preterm infants with gestation less than 32 wk.
