Summary
This Turkish Neonatal Society guideline addresses parenteral nutrition in preterm infants, particularly very-low-birth-weight and extremely-low-birth-weight babies at risk of postnatal growth failure. It frames early, intensive parenteral nutrition with adequate protein and energy as a nutritional emergency when enteral feeding cannot be established, to prevent protein catabolism and support growth and neurodevelopment. Key elements include timely initiation and advancement of protein, lipid and glucose to reach goals. It also emphasises transition to enteral feeding with mother's milk as early as possible.
