Stability of calcium and phosphorus in neonatal parenteral nutrition solutions. 1983

P S Venkataraman, and E O Brissie, and R C Tsang

The solubility and stability of Ca and P in a parenteral nutrition solution is defined. In this study we demonstrate that high levels of Ca and P can be attained in parenteral nutrition solutions suitable for use in neonates. The efficacy and safety in neonates, however, will require specific study.

D010288	Parenteral Nutrition	The administering of nutrients for assimilation and utilization by a patient who cannot maintain adequate nutrition by enteral feeding alone. Nutrients are administered by a route other than the alimentary canal (e.g., intravenously, subcutaneously).

D002118	Calcium	A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
