Indication

4.1 Therapeutic indications

Parenteral nutrition for adults and children aged 2 years and above when oral or enteral nutrition is impossible, insufficient or contraindicated.

Dosing

4.2 Posology and method of administration

Posology

The appearance of the product after mixing the 3 chambers is a white emulsion.

The patient’s ability to eliminate lipids and metabolise nitrogen and glucose, and the nutritional requirements should govern the dosage and infusion rate, see section 4.4 – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information.

The dose should be individualised to the patient’s clinical condition, body weight (bw), nutritional and energy requirements, adjusting dosage based upon additional oral/enteral intake.

The nitrogen requirements for maintenance of body protein mass depend on the patient’s condition (e.g. nutritional state and degree of catabolic stress or anabolism).

Adults

The requirements are 0.6–0.9 g amino acids/kg bw/day (0.10–0.15 g nitrogen/kg bw/day) in the normal nutritional state or in conditions with mild catabolic stress. In patients with moderate to high metabolic stress with or without malnutrition, the requirements are in the range of 0.9–1.6 g amino acids/kg bw/day (0.15–0.25 g nitrogen/kg bw/day). In some very special conditions (e.g. burns or marked anabolism) the nitrogen need may be even higher.

Dosage:
The dosage range of 20–40 ml SmofKabiven Peripheral/kg bw/day will provide 0.6–1.3 g amino acids/kg bw/day (corresponds to 0.10–0.20 g nitrogen/kg bw/day) and 14–28 kcal/kg bw/day of total energy (11–22 kcal/kg bw/day of non-protein energy). This covers the need of the majority of the patients. In obese patients the dose should be based on the estimated ideal weight.

Infusion rate:
The maximum infusion rate for glucose is 0.25 g/kg bw/h, for amino acids 0.1 g/kg bw/h, and for lipids 0.15 g/kg bw/h.

The infusion rate should not exceed 3.0 ml/kg bw/h (corresponding to 0.10 g amino acids, 0.21 g glucose and 0.08 g lipids/kg bw/h). The recommended infusion period is 14–24 hours.

Maximum daily dose:
The maximum daily dose varies with the clinical condition of the patient and may even change from day to day. The recommended maximum daily dose is 40 ml/kg bw/day.

The recommended maximum daily dose of 40 ml/kg bw/day will provide 1.3 g amino acids/kg bw/day (corresponding to 0.2 g nitrogen/kg bw/day), 2.8 g glucose/kg bw/day, 1.1 g lipids/kg bw/day and a total energy content of 28 kcal/kg bw/day (corresponding to 22 kcal/kg bw/day of non-protein energy).

Paediatric population

Children (2–11 years)

Dosage:
The dose up to 40 ml/kg bw/day should be regularly adjusted to the requirements of the paediatric patient that varies more than in adult patients.

Infusion rate:
The recommended maximum infusion rate is 3.0 ml/kg bw/h (corresponding to 0.10 g amino acids/kg/h, 0.21 g/glucose/kg/h and 0.08 g lipids/kg/h).

The recommended infusion period is 12–24 hours.

If using the recommended maximum daily dose, the dose should be infused during a period of at least 13 hours to not exceed the recommended maximum infusion rate, except in particular cases.

Maximum daily dose:
The maximum daily dose varies with the clinical condition of the patient and may even change from day to day. The recommended maximum daily dose is 40 ml/kg bw/day. This recommended maximum daily dose of 40 ml/kg bw/day will provide 1.3 g amino acids/kg bw/day (corresponding to 0.2 g nitrogen/kg bw/day), 2.8 g glucose/kg bw/day, 1.1 g lipids/kg bw/day and a total energy content of 28 kcal/kg bw/day (corresponding to 22 kcal/kg bw/day of non-protein energy).

Adolescents (12–16/18 years)

In adolescents, SmofKabiven Peripheral can be used as in adults.

Method of administration
Intravenous use, infusion into a peripheral or central vein.

SmofKabiven Peripheral is available in three pack sizes intended for patients with moderately increased or basal nutritional requirements. To provide total parenteral nutrition, trace elements, vitamins and possibly electrolytes (taking into account the electrolytes already present in SmofKabiven Peripheral) should be added to SmofKabiven Peripheral according to the patient's need.

For instructions on preparation of the medicinal product before administration, see section 6.6 – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information.
