PPN vs TPN: quick vascular access reality check 👀

We hear this a lot:
👉 “It’s PPN, so a peripheral IV is fine.”

Sometimes.
But not always.

TPN is straightforward — high osmolarity = central access. No argument there.

PPN is where things get messy. Just because it can run peripherally doesn’t mean it should. If it’s running more than a few days, at higher rates, or on a patient who can’t keep an IV for more than 24–48 hours… that peripheral line is living on borrowed time.

This is why you’ll sometimes see a PICC placed even for PPN.
Not because we’re being aggressive — but because we’re being realistic.

Access decisions shouldn’t be based on labels.
They should be based on duration, osmolarity, vein quality, and patient safety.

Curious how your unit handles this.
Do you wait for IV failure, or plan ahead? 👇

Why do I love being a vascular access nurse? I encourage you to become an expert at something and then teach someone else. We can no longer gatekeep what we know.
