Abstract
The article describes the importance of monitoring the respiratory quotient for patients on total parenteral nutrition. Two reasons are given: prevention of fat accumulation in the liver and alleviation of potential respiratory distress secondary to excess glucose.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
