Summary
This consensus from a multidisciplinary group across neonatal intensive care units in Australia and New Zealand sets out standardised neonatal parenteral nutrition formulations. A literature review was undertaken for each nutrient and recommendations were developed through a series of meetings in 2010-2011. The group agreed three standard and two optional amino acid/dextrose formulations and one lipid emulsion. Standardisation aims to harmonise practice, reduce costs and reduce prescription errors.
