                                Peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN) is a temporary nutritional support method typically used for fewer than 14 days in well-nourished patients with a functioning GI tract. This specialized intravenous fluid, less concentrated than its counterpart TPN, provides essential macronutrients and micronutrients directly into a peripheral vein.
