      Abstract

      The high carbohydrate load of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) caused a 67% increase in CO2 production which precipitated respiratory distress in the 59-year-old man reported on herein. TPN given inappropriately can serve as a physiological stress rather than nutritional support.
