You can use a Hickman for TPN feedings along with a PICC line too.
A g-tube is a tube that goes right into the stomach for tube feedings or if it is for short term you can use one that goes through the nose (they pretty much are the same thing just one is through the nose and one goes directly into the stomach.)
