Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialGlucose response to discontinuation of parenteral nutrition in patients less than 3 years of age.
The effects of abrupt discontinuation and tapering of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) on glucose concentration were compared in patients < 3 years of age. ⋯ The high incidence of hypoglycemia after TPN discontinuation in children < 3 years of age requires monitoring of serum glucose concentration when initiating intermittent TPN until tolerance is documented.
