- Aspiration
Fewer patients receiving TPN vomited or had hypoglycemia, but there was no difference noted in aspiration events or aspiration pneumonia. The CALORIES trial is a good example of the risk of "brand bias" when reading the literature. [pulmccm.org]
He is intubated and admitted to the intensive care unit for what is found to be pneumonia, and the patient is started on total parental nutrition as he is sedated and has a history of aspiration from a prior hospitalization. [medbullets.com]

Although parenteral nutrition is more costly than enteral nutrition and it also poses a greater risk in terms of infection, it is sometimes indicated when enteral nutrition is contraindicated for the client, when the client is at high risk for aspiration [registerednursing.org]
- Sneezing
Try not to cough or sneeze on your work surfaces. Wash your hands thoroughly with an antibacterial soap before TPN infusion. Turn on the water, wet your hands and wrists and lather up a good amount of soap all over for at least 15 seconds. [mountsinai.org]
If you need to cough or sneeze, move away from the clean surface. Washing your hands Wash your hands before touching any of your supplies. Turn on the water. Wet your hands and wrists. [fairview.org]

Signs of high blood pressure like very bad headache or dizziness, passing out, or change in eyesight. Fast breathing. Shortness of breath, a big weight gain, or swelling in the arms or legs. Dizziness or passing out. Blue or gray skin color. [mskcc.org]
Adverse reactions to lipid emulsions (eg, dyspnea, cutaneous allergic reactions, nausea, headache, back pain, sweating, dizziness) are uncommon but may occur early, particularly if lipids are given at > 1.0 kcal/kg/hour. [msdmanuals.com]

Abstract Adverse outcomes have been associated with hyperglycemia in patients receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The relationship may be characteristic in elderly patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
If hyperglycemia remains uncontrolled, long-term complications can develop, such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and eye damage. Hyperglycemia in TPN Infusion Hyperglycemia during TPN infusion can have many causes. [livestrong.com]
Critically Ill Patients Patients that are critically ill have a high rate of hyperglycemia when receiving TPN. [healthyeating.sfgate.com]

Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology is postulated to be multifactorial. Diagnosis in adults is primarily by exclusion, eliminating other causes of chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, and other factors seen in critically ill or postoperative patients on TPN. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
