Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) Calculator
This calculator helps determine the total nutritional needs of patients requiring parenteral (IV) nutrition. It estimates Basal Energy Expenditure (BEE), Ideal Body Weight (IBW), macronutrient distribution (lipids, dextrose, protein), nitrogen balance, and the non-protein calorie-to-nitrogen ratio.

TPN Nutritional Calculation Formulas
Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) is a method of feeding that bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. This calculator helps clinicians determine precise nutritional support for patients by estimating energy needs (BEE), ideal weight, and appropriate macronutrient allocation. It also includes nitrogen balance analysis, which is critical in assessing protein adequacy and ensuring optimal metabolic support in critically ill or malnourished patients.
