safety of PN therapy in the home setting (eg, clean home environment, electricity, running water, telephone, and appropriate storage for supplies).7 Discharge planner facilitates discharge planning, including verifying insurance benefits for HPN, arranging home infusion pharmacies for supplies, and coordinating routine

blood products, and L-cysteine).37 Moreover, because some commercially available PN admixtures have been shown to exceed the widely accepted safe limit for aluminum, regulatory action to reduce aluminum content in PN solutions is needed.38 Additives Glutamine Glutamine, one of the nonessential AAs, has garnered

blood. Degranulation of these platelets releases various growth factors and proteins that promote chondrogenesis, angiogenesis, cell differentiation, proliferation, and remodeling. MSCs are also thought to promote tissue regeneration because of their pluripotent properties. When injected in an area of cartilage damage, MSCs are hypothesized

blood glucose levels are stable.7 Hypertriglyceridemia Lipids provide an energy source and essential fatty acids that are necessary for survival. In general, patients receiving long-term HPN should also receive a lipid source routinely (ie, daily, every other day, or weekly) either from oral nutrition and/or

blood loss. An additional consideration for the anesthesiologist and orthopedic surgeon is managing postoperative pain associated with these procedures. THA and, particularly, TKA, are painful surgical procedures.3 Females are more likely to experience anxiety or depression preoperatively4 and to develop chronic pain syndromes. Effective pain management

blood glucose abnormalities. Provide oral or enteral nutrition along with PN if possible. Therapies still under investigation include choline, L-carnitine, and glutamine supplementation. 69 Allergic Reactions to Parenteral Nutrition Components Although relatively uncommon, allergic reactions to PN components have been published in case reports. Reactions

blood components. The plasma (containing platelets and antiinflammatory proteins) is then isolated and injected into the joint to theoretically reduce inflammation and attenuate joint destruction.54 Studies have shown variable effectiveness of PRP injections in treating OA pain.55,56 Additionally, there are concerns about cost as these
