[Measurement of insulin in multilayer bags for parenteral nutrition].

Introduction: it is common to add rapid-acting insulin to parenteral nutrition (NP) bags for the management of hyperglycemia. However, insulin can be adsorbed in NP bags due to electrostatic interactions. Objective: to determine the influence of the presence of lipids and of insulin concentration in NP bags on the adsorption of insulin in these bags, as well as its stability for 5 days.
