                    Key Messages 
                     
                    •    The all-in-one concept is a milestone in the search for safe, efficient, and convenient PN in 
                         acute and (home) long-term treatment. It has stimulated technical and pharmaceutical 
                         developments; 
                    •    Standard AIO regimes are used in most cases for PN treatment of adult patients in hospital 
                         acute care. Nevertheless, individualised and tailor-made PN admixtures are also needed to meet 
                         the specific nutritional requirements of children (growth), those with severe illnesses including 
                         organ failures, and patients on a long-term (home) PN. Well designed cost-effectiveness studies 
                         are still lacking; 
                    •    The compounding of AiO admixtures or the final ready-to-use preparation of industrial AIO 
                         premixes are critical pharmaceutical issues. Good manufacture practice (GMP) rules have to be 
                         respected when compounding AiO PN or admixing nutritional components and drugs. The 
                         pharmacist as the manufacturing supervisor has to take specific responsibility to guarantee 
                         quality and stability of ready-to-use prepared admixtures. As a nutrition support team member 
                         he has to define and implement standards of correct storage and handling of AiO admixtures. 
                         These standards must reflect professional state of the art practice; 
                    •    Because of their complex composition and the character of o/w emulsions, PN AiO admixtures 
                         have high and potentially harmful instability risks. Instability reactions include physico-chemical 
                     
                                                           Copyright © 2007 by ESPEN
                         incompatibilities and microbial instability due to incorrect aseptic manipulation technique both 
                         of which represent avoidable medication errors. The most important incompatibility and 
                         instability reactions in AiO admixture can be classified according to their physico-chemical 
                         reaction type: emulsion deterioration, lipid peroxidation, oxidation of vitamins, and formation 
                         of insoluble precipitates.  Measures to avoid them therefore need pharmaceutical expertise and 
                         advice and depend on the characteristics of the pharmaceutical nutrient or drug concerned; 
                    •    AiO admixtures are not suitable as drug vehicles due to their complex formulation and the high 
                         potential for interaction in vivo and in vitro. If admixture of a drug is necessary, it is helpful to 
                         have a simple and easy to understand procedure for risk assessment, based on the degree of 
                         need for the medication and on the physico-chemical profiles of the AiO admixture and the 
                         drug.

                1. Introduction 
                 
                1.1 PN: From Separate Nutrient Infusion to the All-In-One Admixture 
                From its early beginnings, parenteral nutrition (PN) encountered multiple (pharmaceutical) 
                challenges (1), (Table 1). Over the last 40 years PN has evolved technically from a difficult to 
                handle multi-bottle (MB) system to a partial PN admixture, and eventually to an all-in-one 
                admixture system. Ideally, an AiO PN admixture is administered in a single container containing the 
                whole daily nutritional requirements through a single central i.v. line (2), (Fig. 1).

                The large number of dissolved components in AiO PN mixtures forms a complex pharmaceutical 
                formula which, even in vitro, has an important number of potential physico-chemical interactions 
                (incompatibilities), which may adversely affect the stability of the mixture and its individual 
                components. These pharmaceutical aspects have a major impact on the quality, safety, and 
                effectiveness of PN (3, 4, 5).  
                 
                The incompatibility issue becomes even more complicated if drugs have to be added to an AiO 
                formula (6), (Fig. 2). Correct pharmaceutical advice is necessary to avoid incompatibilities to be 
                seen as preventable medical errors.

                Ready-to-use AIO admixtures fulfil stability requirements only under restricted and specific 
                conditions of storage and administration; the main restriction is imposed by their limited shelf life 
                of only a few days once all the ingredients have been added. This does not allow the large scale 
                industrial preparation of fully ready to use AIO admixtures. The final ready to use product depends 
                therefore upon the availability of a specialist compounding service, in hospital or centrally, with the 
                capability of delivering the freshly compounded product to its site of use. 
                 
                1.2 AiO Admixtures: Prerequisites, Benefits, and Limits 
                The specific needs of different nutrients in each patient lead to a small therapeutic index of a clinical 
                nutrition formula in a given individual (Table 2).
