Guest iloveleeks Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Apart from lipids...is there anything that should not be infused thru a PALL posidyne NEO FILTER? Basic question, I know, but I'm stuck here on an isolated island with no one to ask!
Stefan Johansson Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Sorry, I wished I could be of any help but we do not use this filter. But (offtopic ), I get curious about the isolated island?!
Guest iloveleeks Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 oh yes...we are a small NICU (3 beds) on the island of Guernsey...about 25km off the coast of Normandy. We can't hold sick babies here (the ones needing TPN or surgery), so we medivac them to the UK.
Stefan Johansson Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 ...Guernsey...about 25km off the coast of Normandy... Aha! Sounds like an interesting location!
Guest aansorge Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 We only infuse hydrous solution about theses filters. With oily, milky and bloody solution you block the filter.
JACK Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Since your filter is a 0.2 micron filter some substances will not pass through it ( for example albumin, liposomal amphotericiin B, intralipid). If you are connecting your intralipid to your Dex/AA solution and infusing them together the you will have to use a larger bore filter...which is not advisable....which is the reason it is safer to seperate your Dex/AA and intralipid infusions.
