Preparation of pamphlets to teach the technique of home parenteral nutrition aiming at timely back home

The home drip infusion is a stressful procedure for both patients and families under HPN at home. Effective and reliable guidance for drip infusion management should be provided while patients are still at the hospital to realize reliable home care. We revised the HPN Guidance Manual and report the process in this article. We revised the manual according to the principles that "the guidance is subdivided into 3 steps so that the contents of the guidance can be adjusted for individual patients", that "a lot of photos and illustrations for frequently used 2 models are placed" and that "a video is prepared to make the most of the impact motion pictures can give". We want to use the manual in future clinical practices.
