Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is provided intravenously through a central venous catheter for patients who cannot receive nutrition from any other source. It is a long-term nutritional supplement that comes in a higher concentration. Peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN) can be provided through a peripheral venous catheter for patients who can get some nutrition from other sources in addition to the intravenous supplementation, which comes in a lesser concentration and acts as a short-term nutritional supplement.
