What is Total Parenteral Nutrition?
Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) is pharmacological therapies where nutrients, vitamins, electrolytes and medications are delivered via the venous route to those patients whose gastrointestinal tract is not functioning and are unable to tolerate enteral nutrition. TPN is an effective means of sustaining life and promoting recovery in critically ill patients incapable of ingesting, absorbing or assimilating nutrients. Infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) often require nutrition support. Infants who are critically ill and cannot be breastfed are started on TPN that is planned meticulously from Day one of life itself.

What is KIMAYA TPN?
Kimaya TPN is a software for TPN calculation. It works as an aid to help neonatologists calculate the nutrient requirement for neonates quickly and accurately. TPN calculations are also saved for future reference. Errors are avoided by validations that are built into the software. Kimaya TPN can also print reports for hospital records and labels which can be stuck on TPN bottles.

Who should use KIMAYA TPN?
Kimaya TPN should be used only by neonatologists, trained nutritionists and experts in Total Parenteral Nutrition. Though this software is used primarily in the NICU, it can also be used in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).
