Preparation & Expectations
What happens right after the procedure?
Hyperalimentation uses a pump to closely regulate the amount of solution given. The person may receive it at a constant rate, or only for several hours at night. Close monitoring is needed. The healthcare provider must check the person's weight, blood sugars, and electrolytes levels in the blood. The provider must check the site of the central line often for signs of infection.
