Superficial forearm veins are used, punctured with short catheters. The infusion site must be changed systematically every 48 hours to limit the risk of thrombophlebitis. Venous tolerance of nutrient solutions depends above all on their osmolarity. Osmolarities below 800 mosml/L are generally well tolerated.
