What is another word for intravenous feeding?
Pronunciation: [ˈɪntɹəvənəs fˈiːdɪŋ] (IPA) 
Intravenous feeding is a life-saving procedure, but it's also known by a variety of other names. The most common synonym for intravenous feeding is parenteral nutrition. In this process, nutrients are delivered directly into the bloodstream using a catheter or IV line. Another term for this procedure is total parenteral nutrition (TPN) which is commonly used in medical settings. Intravenous feeding is also sometimes referred to as hyperalimentation, which means providing a high level of nutrition to the patient. Enteral feeding, on the other hand, is the delivery of nutrients through a feeding tube that goes through the patient's nose or mouth and directly into the stomach or small intestine.
