Supportive use of total peripheral parenteral alimentation in children with severe pancreatic injuries.
Although blunt abdominal trauma is common during childhood, experience with major pancreatic injuries is rare. Three such cases were recently treated at the Montreal Children's Hospital. Because of the complicated problems related to these injuries, these children needed prolonged nutritional support. Total peripheral parenteral nutrition was used to provide complete rest of the pancreas and avoid the risks of sepsis associated with central venous feeding. This technique enables the maintenance of caloric intake and weight gain during difficult complications and was instrumental in the early complete recovery of these children.
