 THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 1, Ch. 1, Nutrition: General Considerations
Complications may be metabolic--relating to the nutritional formula--or nonmetabolic--due to faults in delivery techniques.
Severely malnourished patients who are being prepared for surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy for cancer are given TPN before and after treatment to improve and maintain their nutritional status.
A peripheral vein may be used for short periods, but longer periods of use with concentrated solutions can readily lead to thrombosis.

 Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition
Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) has been one of the most innovative techniques to be introduced into pediatrics in the last 50 years.
Children on tube feeding require a team approach to ensure appropriate nutrition (nutritionist), continuation of development of oromotor skills and intake of nutrients by mouth whenever possible (speech therapist), appropriate support of the equipment and ostomy site (ileostomy/colostomy nurse practitioner), and psychological support whenever necessary [34].
Potential hazards include perforation of the stomach or intestine, and aspiration, which can prove fatal, especially in very young or compromised patients.

 Neonatology on the Web: Parenteral Nutrition for Neonates
When a baby is on parenteral nutrition, our ultimate goal is to provide at least 100-110 cal/kg/day.
The serum levels in these babies are often 3 or greater at birth, and since their renal clearance of magnesium is poor during the first few days of life, they may accumulate magnesium given in the PN solution and reach even higher levels with no warning.
Parenteral nutrition (PN) allows us to meet an infant's requirements for growth and development when the infant's size or condition precludes enteral feedings.

 Nutrition Research Newsletter: Dietitians' Role In Parenteral Nutrition
The authors conclude that if dietitians are not proactive in learning about and teaching future dietitians about parenteral nutrition we will lose the opportunity to be involved in this area.
However the role of the dietitian in parenteral nutrition is less well recognized by medical staff and other health care professionals.
* Parenteral nutrition should be considered an integrated part of clinical dietetics.

It is usually placed on the chest, though sometimes if the location must be changed frequently it will be placed in other areas such as the groin or the neck.
This can happen for a variety of reasons, Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS), Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-obstruction (CIPS), Eosinophilic Gastroentiritis (EG), Hirshprungs Disease (HD and various other diseases or disorders.
Transplants are difficult, life sustaining choices to be made, and if at all possible some oral or enteral (tube fed) nutrition will help to prolong the life of these organs.
