TPN provides all of a patient's daily nutritional needs.A peripheral IV line can be used for a short period with a less concentrated formula.When nutritional support is needed for a long period of time,concentrated solutions are used and require central venous access (e.g. ,peripherally inserted central catheter [PICC line];triple lumen catheter [TLC]).TPN formulas are individualized and prepared by pharmacists according to patient needs.This form of nutrition is given in the hospital and at home.In many cases TPN allows people who have lost small intestine function to lead fairly normal lives.
