Abstract:

The author describes a technique that enables the placement of an implantable port or a tunneled catheter in the chest with only a single incision by accessing the jugular vein via the port incision with ultrasonographic guidance. This technique was used to place ports in 12 patients and a tunneled dialysis catheter in one patient; no complications occurred. Patient response has been favorable.

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...
