TPN is when the body receives all it's nutrition through the veins (this is different from IV fluids which is more like water or sometimes "IV gatorade"). It can be very hard on veins and therefore needs to be in a large or "central" vein. A central catheter (a catheter is really just a tube; there are many kinds--urinary, IV, etc) is neccessary. There are many kinds but the simplest and least invasive is called a PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter). It is a "super long" IV. The portion that attaches to the IV is usually at your elbow, but the other end sits in one of the large vessels just outside your heart, near your shoulder. TPN usually runs all day and the person would usually require blood sugar checks every 6 hours, even if they are not diabetic.
