The basic parenteral solution is composed of dextrose, amino acids, lipids, electrolytes, minerals, trace elements, vitamins, and water. Medications can also be added. Most commercial solutions contain the monohydrate form of dextrose that provides 3.4 kcal/g. Crystalline amino acids are used in parenteral nutrition formulations to provide protein and provide 4 kcal/g when oxidized. Lipid emulsions are available in 20% and 30% concentrations, which provide 2 kcal/mL and 3 kcal/mL respectively. The 30% concentration is approved only for compounding within a 3-in-1 admixture.
