A huge ***no***. Much greater risk of thrombosis. I would expect
the physician to hang every container of this PN with the tip in this
location. That will encourage him to move it. Lynn

I have a question for the group. A patient has a triple lumen CVC placed in the left IJ. The tip placement reading is bracheocephalic approx. 1 cm from the SVC. The surgeon is satisfied with this placement and is starting TPN infusion through this line. Is the placement sufficient for this therapy? Thanks for your assistance.
