An adult male developed shock some hours after the start of intravenous alimentation. The caval catheter, which had been inserted through the right subclavian vein, was later radiographically demonstrated to be in the pericardial sac. We reviewed the literature on this and other complications of caval catheters. From this information and our own experience we offer some suggestions for prevention and management of some of the complications of caval catheters.

Three dogs were surgically prepared with gastric fistulas and Heidenhain (vagally denervated) pouches. Acid and pepsin responses to pentagastrin and food were determined before, at the end of a 1-mo period of total parenteral feeding, and 1 mo after the resumption of a normal oral diet. Acid and pepsin output from the denervated pouch in response to pentagastrin and food decreased significantly (P less than 0.001) after parenteral feeding and returned to control levels after the dogs resumed a normal diet. Secretory outputs from the gastric fistula in response to pentagastrin remained unchanged throughout the experiment. Basal serum gastrin levels decreased 50% during the period of intravenous feeding and returned to levels approximately twice the control levels following resumption of normal oral food intake. Serum gastrin responses to a meal also decreased during intravenous alimentation and returned to higher than normal levels following a 1-mo period of oral intake. These studies indicate that the absence of oral food intake in the dog does not result in decreased acid secretion from the innervated stomach. Vagal innervation in some way is responsible for the preservation of normal secretion during the absence of food from the gastrointestinal tract of the dog.

There is great variability in how the ketogenic diet (KD) is implemented. Most of the differences are preference based. A consensus statement attempted to unify professional practices. The KD can be safely used in all ages, modified for specific dietary needs, and administered as food, formula, or intravenous alimentation. Effectiveness, compliance, and minimal side effects are achieved using a team-based, family-centered support structure. The KD is commonly initiated in an in-patient setting with a gradual advancement of the fat. Some centers still begin the KD with a brief fast. Out-patient initiation with slower advancement to a full diet can be challenging but safely executed. Time to determine response and duration of treatment in responders varies. Side effects are better understood and best managed proactively by monitoring, but cannot always be prevented and must be weighed with the benefit of continuing the therapy.
