Summary
An Australasian multidisciplinary consensus on standardised parenteral nutrition formulations for neonatal intensive care units, developed through literature review and a series of meetings in 2010-2011. It describes agreement on a small number of standard and optional amino acid/dextrose formulations plus a lipid emulsion. The stated aims are to harmonise neonatal parenteral nutrition practice, reduce costs and limit prescription errors. Relevant to PICU staff caring for neonates, though the focus is neonatal rather than paediatric intensive care.
