Two ready-to-use parenteral nutritions (PN) have been developed, for the first days of life of the premature newborn, along with syringes of lipid emulsion with or without vitamins. Long-term physico-chemical stability for storage in wards was assessed. ⋯ The PN did not present a detectable change of the tested properties when refrigerated for 12 weeks. The lipid emulsion with vitamins is stable for one week when refrigerated.
