I believe I have the right name. It is in one's chest and use to administer TPN. My boyfriend has been in hospital for a few weeks now (he has MNGIE) he now has a hickmen's line and will be returning home in another week or so. All of the equipment and supplies will be arriving before him. I don't know much about this and was looking to get any information I can with regards to how it works, how difficutl the set up and routine of it is, etc. Hi Jenn, I have had a hickman for over 10 yrs (the current one I have is 7 yrs old) for TPN. I would be happy to answer any questions you have. There is also a TPN list through yahoogroups.com. Type in TPNsupport and it should come up. They are a wealth of information. Feel free to e-mail me offlist and maybe I can help you more. Malisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
