Pulmonary pathology associated with hypertonic central venous fluid administration. 1985

S J Mulvihill, and H Takamatsu, and A Albert, and E W Fonkalsrud

In a rabbit model, a variety of hyperalimentation solutions have been shown to have an adverse effect on the right atrium, pulmonary artery and pulmonary parenchyma when infused for one week into the right atrium. High concentrations of dextrose combined with amino acids produced the greatest morbidity and mortality. No clear relation exists between pH or osmolarity and toxicity. The pulmonary injury seen in this model may explain the occasional development of pulmonary hypertension in patients receiving long term total parenteral nutrition.

D009994 Osmolar Concentration The concentration of osmotically active particles in solution expressed in terms of osmoles of solute per liter of solution. Osmolality is expressed in terms of osmoles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Ionic Strength,Osmolality,Osmolarity,Concentration, Osmolar,Concentrations, Osmolar,Ionic Strengths,Osmolalities,Osmolar Concentrations,Osmolarities,Strength, Ionic,Strengths, Ionic
D010289 Parenteral Nutrition, Total The delivery of nutrients for assimilation and utilization by a patient whose sole source of nutrients is via solutions administered intravenously, subcutaneously, or by some other non-alimentary route. The basic components of TPN solutions are protein hydrolysates or free amino acid mixtures, monosaccharides, and electrolytes. Components are selected for their ability to reverse catabolism, promote anabolism, and build structural proteins.
