Difference between Parenteral nutrition and Sepsis

Parenteral nutrition vs. Sepsis

Total parenteral nutrition (PN) is the feeding of a person intravenously, bypassing the usual process of eating and digestion. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs.

Similarities between Parenteral nutrition and Sepsis

Parenteral nutrition and Sepsis have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cancer, Central venous catheter, Feeding tube, Gastrointestinal tract, Hyperglycemia, Intellectual disability, Intravenous therapy, Pulmonary embolism, Septic shock, Volume expander.

Cancer

Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.

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.

Feeding tube

A feeding tube is a medical device used to provide nutrition to people who cannot obtain nutrition by mouth, are unable to swallow safely, or need nutritional supplementation.

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract, digestional tract, GI tract, GIT, gut, or alimentary canal) is an organ system within humans and other animals which takes in food, digests it to extract and absorb energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste as feces.

Hyperglycemia

Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar (also spelled hyperglycaemia or hyperglycæmia) is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma.

Intellectual disability

Intellectual disability (ID), also known as general learning disability, and mental retardation (MR), is a generalized neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by significantly impaired intellectual and adaptive functioning.

Intravenous therapy

Intravenous therapy (IV) is a therapy that delivers liquid substances directly into a vein (intra- + ven- + -ous).

Pulmonary embolism

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has moved from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism).

Septic shock

Septic shock is a serious medical condition that occurs when sepsis, which is organ injury or damage in response to infection, leads to dangerously low blood pressure and abnormalities in cellular metabolism.

Volume expander

A volume expander is a type of intravenous therapy that has the function of providing volume for the circulatory system.
