Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Home TPN
Will my child's home TPN be covered by insurance?
What is the best way to safely warm my child's home TPN before we infuse it?
Since home TPN must be refrigerated until it is used, many caregivers warm home TPN before infusion so the child won't be cold. However, rapid heating of home TPN in a microwave or boiling water is not advised. The best way to warm home TPN safely is through a natural warming process, such as wrapping it in a towel until it reaches room temperature or simply letting it sit out until it reaches room temperature. Keep in mind, just like food, home TPN can spoil if left out too long or if left in extreme heat.
Can our family go on vacation while our child is on home TPN?
Just because your child is on home TPN, doesn't mean they have to miss out on family vacations or even day trip adventures. The key is planning - what to pack, how to pack your home TPN and supplies, how to get through TSA with home TPN, and having a backup plan for care on the road should you need it. At Nutrishare, we believe that patients will have better clinical outcomes when they can live their best lives on home TPN and are here to help with all the logistics of your child's care when you travel. You'll also have access to the Nutrishare Neighborhood - a network of support from specialists, clinicians and other pediatric home TPN families with great tips for traveling with children on home TPN.
