Lipids, filters and line clotting
For those that started filtering their lipid preparations, have you seen an increased incidence in line clotting? We have had several of our neonatal PICC lines clot off which is temporally related to filtering the Nutralipid preparation. They switched back to the Intralipid preparation and have not been filtering it and have not seen any further issues with line clotting. Before deciding if this is a product issue or a filtering issue I wanted to see what others have experienced?
Thank you,
Randi
