For those of us not working in medical settings, TPN is Total Parenteral
Nutrition (intravenous feeding) and 'trophic feeds' are very small feeds
used to assess feed tolerance in premature infants. I am thinking that
'residuals' are that protion of the feed that remains undigested some time
after feeding but that would be a guess and I am not sure how one would
manage them.
