Difference between Intravenous therapy and Parenteral nutrition

Intravenous therapy vs. Parenteral nutrition

Intravenous therapy (IV) is a therapy that delivers liquid substances directly into a vein (intra- + ven- + -ous). Total parenteral nutrition (PN) is the feeding of a person intravenously, bypassing the usual process of eating and digestion.

Similarities between Intravenous therapy and Parenteral nutrition

Intravenous therapy and Parenteral nutrition have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amino acid, Blood, Central venous catheter, Digestion, Eating, Enteral administration, Food and Drug Administration, Glucose, Hickman line, Lipid, Peripherally inserted central catheter, Pneumothorax, Vitamin.

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.

Blood

Blood is a body fluid in humans and other animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.

Central venous catheter

A central venous catheter (CVC), also known as a central line, central venous line, or central venous access catheter, is a catheter placed into a large vein.

Digestion

Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma.

Eating

Eating (also known as consuming) is the ingestion of food, typically to provide a heterotrophic organism with energy and to allow for growth.

Enteral administration

In general medicine, enteral administration (Greek enteros, "intestine") is food or drug administration via the human gastrointestinal tract.

Food and Drug Administration

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or USFDA) is a federal agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, one of the United States federal executive departments.

Hickman line

A Hickman line is a central venous catheter most often used for the administration of chemotherapy or other medications, as well as for the withdrawal of blood for analysis.

Lipid

In biology and biochemistry, a lipid is a biomolecule that is soluble in nonpolar solvents.

Peripherally inserted central catheter

A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC or PIC line), less commonly called a percutaneous indwelling central catheter, is a form of intravenous access that can be used for a prolonged period of time (e.g., for long chemotherapy regimens, extended antibiotic therapy, or total parenteral nutrition) or for administration of substances that should not be done peripherally (e.g., antihypotensive agents a.k.a. pressors).

Pneumothorax

A pneumothorax is an abnormal collection of air in the pleural space between the lung and the chest wall.

Vitamin

A vitamin is an organic molecule (or related set of molecules) which is an essential micronutrient - that is, a substance which an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism - but cannot synthesize it (either at all, or in sufficient quantities), and therefore it must be obtained through the diet.
