[Complications of the central venous feeding of mobilized patients with an all-in-one solution]

35 mobilized patients received continuous parenteral nutrition consisting of an all-in-one solution mixed together in this department right before use over a total period of 1155 days (mean per patient 33 days). The primary complication rate was: second puncture in 14%, pneumothorax in 11% and haemothorax in 3% of cases. Secondary complications: catheter-related sepsis was documented in 8.5%. Metabolic complications were not seen. The all-in-one solution is a satisfactory nutrient for long-term, low-risk administration by the route, suitable even in the case of mobilized patients, without the necessity of intensive metabolic monitoring.
