January 7, 200917 yr comment_1687 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! Send Sticky Note
January 8, 200917 yr 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?!
January 8, 200917 yr comment_1689 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. Send Sticky Note
January 9, 200917 yr ...Guernsey...about 25km off the coast of Normandy... Aha! Sounds like an interesting location!
January 11, 200917 yr comment_1694 We only infuse hydrous solution about theses filters. With oily, milky and bloody solution you block the filter. Send Sticky Note
January 11, 200917 yr 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.
