Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a way to feed the body vital nutrients through an IV drip. The therapy allows medical providers to provide balanced nutrients quickly by bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and delivering the solution straight to the veins. This form of feeding prevents malnutrition and sustains life when a person is unable to eat or absorb nutrients.
TPN supplies the body with its daily requirements, including macronutrients, micronutrients, and vitamins.
We are patient-focused, and work with our patients and their physicians individually to upgrade and improve diets to increase satisfaction and quality of life. We also offer the services of a discharge planner to help families set up TPN services upon release and transition home.
Rehab Select is one of few long-term rehab facilities in Alabama with dedicated 24-hour nursing staff who are highly skilled at supervising TPN treatments. Rehab Select nurses follow high standards for prescribed administration, line maintenance, and IV monitoring.
