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.
