Covering TPN solutions

Recommended Posts

A number of researchers have demonstarted that covering TPN solutions would decrease peroxide load. We have just finnished a RCT in our institution and we had similar reults. We are updating our guidelines and we are searching for other institutions guidelines

We use dark opaque brown bags to cover TPN in our NICU. They help to protect mutliple additives from photo-oxidation.

Yes, we use the amber plastic bags as well to cover the TPN. TPN arrives from Pharmacy in these bags, and once hung the amber bag is slipped over the TPN bag to keep it covered.
