Clinical Nutrition and the Inpatient PathwayNutritional therapy is an important and recognized building block in the optimal and customized care of your patient.

Patient-customized nutrition compliments any therapy and supports treatment success. B. Braun is at your side with high quality pro-ducts and services when it comes to implementing clinical nutrition. Our support ranges from the screening of patients to the practice of therapy to the management of any potential complications. A � nal crucial step is made when the patient is discharged.

Clinical Nutrition and the Outpatient PathwayHome Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition has become a life-saving mainstay of therapy for patients with short bowel syndrome and for those with severe dysmotility disorders and surgically untreat-able intestinal obstruction. However, it is still an unfamiliar mode of treatment in many health-care settings and even large institu-tions may struggle with its application and ongoing management.

B. Braun supports patients during their journey from the hospital to home as well as the interdisciplinary treatment team that accompa-nies them. The quality of life of the patient, the success of the course of therapy and trouble-free home care are at the center of what we do. You can bene� t from our decades of experience, and from the scienti� cally proven high quality care we o� er to ensure the safety of your patients.1
