Using an in-line filter during parenteral solution administration is a widely used strategy to minimize harm from particulate and pathogen exposure, but evolving and conflicting recommendations for PN solutions have prevented a standard approach in practice.

2020年10月22日 · Based on best available evidence and guidance from scientific and regulatory agencies, the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) recommends using a 1.2 micron in-line filter for administration of total nutrient admixtures (TNAs), dextrose-amino acid admixtures and lipid injectable emulsion (ILE).

The 1.2-micron filter effectively traps particles, Candida albicans, and larger lipid droplets, all while maintaining the stability of the TNA. In summary, the ASPEN position paper recommends that a 1.2-micron in-line filter be used for PN administration, whether the PN is infused as a 2-in-1 with ILEs infused separately, or as a TNA.

Multi-Chamber Parenteral Nutrition Bags: The following companies produce multi-chamber PN products and have developed charts to show the macro- and micro-nutrients in their products to help clinicians in determining what is appropriate for patients.

In-line intravenous filters serve a critical purpose in reducing exposure to particulate matter during parenteral nutrition (PN) therapy. Particles greater than 2 microns, which are retained by 1.2 micron filters, appear to pose the most serious risk for adverse consequences.

the important safety measures employed with PN is the use of in-line filters to prevent particulate matter from entering the circulatory system. Historically it has been recommended to use a 0.22-micron filter for the dextrose-amino acids admixture and a 1.2-micron filter for lipid injectable emulsions (ILE) or for total nutrient admixtures

2020年10月1日 · Intravenous in‐line filters play a critical role in promoting patient safety during parenteral nutrition (PN) administration. Guidelines for using filters for PN have been issued by a number of...

Based on best available evidence and guidance from scientific and regulatory agencies, the American So-ciety for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) recommends using a 1.2 micron in-line filter for administration of total nutrient admixtures (TNAs), dextrose-amino acid admixtures and lipid injectable emulsion (ILE).

intravenous filters can block particulate matter, microbes, air, and enlarged lipid droplets from reaching the patient’s circulation. A filter’s pore size not only determines its retention

To eliminate confusion and workarounds, ASPEN now recommends using a 1.2 micron filter for all parenteral infusions. If you are a clinician that routinely infuses parenteral nutrition, reading this position paper can help gain knowledge on the harmful effects of particulates and summarizes the current evidence-based practices to safely ...
