title: [Comparison of 3 different approaches to central veins in total parenteral nutrition].
abstract: The authors report their experience related to a series of 96 consecutive central venous catheters location through subclavian, right internal jugular, basilic and cephalic veins for TPN administration. Because of the specific complications reported, they are in favour of the trans-basilic peripheral approach for a short term TPN; the internal jugular or the subclavian way are indicated for long term ones. In addition, they stress the importance to limit the use of multilumen catheters just when absolutely necessary, due to the increased infection percentage.
