This combination of essential amino acids, D-Sorbitol and electrolytes is given to supply amino acids and energy to patients who need nutrition through a vein. Doctors use it in several situations: surgery, infections, trauma and burns. It is also used in prolonged disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, hypoproteinemia and malnutrition. Other uses are preparing a patient for surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and for patients in a prolonged coma or those who refuse to eat.
Pharmacology
Amino acid injection with electrolytes supplies crystalline amino acids. These help the body build protein and heal wounds, and they slow down the rate at which the body breaks down its own protein.
When it's given through a central vein together with concentrated dextrose, electrolytes, vitamins, trace metals and ancillary fat supplements, it makes up total parenteral nutrition (TPN). It can also be given through a peripheral vein, along with dextrose and maintenance electrolytes. In either case, intravenous fat emulsion may take the place of part of the carbohydrate calories, whether the patient is on TPN or receiving amino acid injection with electrolytes by peripheral vein.
