The current status of home total parenteral nutrition

Abstract
The history and current status of home total parenteral nutrition are reviewed. Patients without a functional intestinal tract are able to lead a relatively normal life, infusing their essential nutrients through a Silastic central venous catheter while they sleep at night. The average catheter life is nine months. Suspected sepsis and obstruction of the catheter were the leading causes for catheter removal.
