Question: In Short Bowel Syndrome, why is it necessary to use a Central line!?
why do we use a central IV line for TPN!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
TPN is a very concentrated nutritional formula and cannot be given through peripheral veins as it is irritating to the vein!. By giving it through a central line into a central vein the TPN gets diluted quickly as there is a greater volume and flow in a central vein versus a peripheral one!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
