Parenteral nutrition is an artificial feeding technique that is an integral part of neonatal management if enteral feeding is impossible, insufficient or contraindicated. The preparation of parenteral nutrition mixtures is a vital but not risk-free pharmaceutical activity. This book details a study aimed at guaranteeing the quality and safety of mixtures for newborns by carrying out a risk analysis in a neonatology centre. Thus, an analysis of failure modes, their effects and criticality was conducted by a multidisciplinary team. After modeling the process, the team identified potential failure modes and focused on determining their causes and effects. Then, a risk prioritization was conducted after scoring the failure modes. An action plan was finally proposed that allowed the control of 80% of the global criticality. The areas for improvement mainly targeted pharmaceutical validation, production and quality control. A second study is to be considered to evaluate the residual criticality.
