The central line is preferably used as the needle can stay in the patient's vein for many months for long-term and regular IV therapy. There is no need to insert a new needle every time the patient receives the treatment.

What are the differences between total parenteral nutrition and peripheral parenteral nutriton?

TOTAL parenteral nutrition (TPN) provides 100% of the body's nutrient requirements when the patient is unable to tolerate, absorb or accumulate sufficient nutrients by mouth or an enteral route. PARTIAL parenteral nutrition (PPN) provides SOME of the body's nutrient requirements and is an adjunct to other nutrition. TPN must be administered by a central IV route, whereas PPN may be administered by either a central or peripheral IV route.
